Created attachment 80702 [details] DOCX containing a non-blank odd footer and a blank even footer, and 'Different Odd & Even Pages' is turned on Problem description: When opening a DOCX that has the following - the 'Different Odd & Even Pages' flag is lost: If the DOCX has a non-blank Odd footer, and a blank EVEN footer, while the 'Different Odd & Even Pages' is turned on - in Word the Odd (left) page has a footer and the EVEN (right) page has no footer. When you open the DOCX in LO - all the pages have the Odd footer. This is because LO assumes that if the EVEN footer is blank - than the 'Different Odd & Even Pages' flag should be ignored. This is wrong. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the attached DOCX in LO 2. The footer appears in all the pages (odd & even) 3. Save the DOCX as a NEW.DOCX 4. Open the NEW.DOCX in Word 5. The footer appears on all pages (instead of just in the odd pages) because the 'Different Odd & Even Pages' flag is turned off. Current behavior: 'Different Odd & Even Pages' flag is ignored when importing, and so it is not saved when exported back to DOCX. Expected behavior: 'Different Odd & Even Pages' flag should be imported correctly and exported, even if the 'EVEN' footer is blank. Operating System: Windows 8 Version: 4.0.3.3 release
