Description Rigoberto Calleja 2013-06-26 19:57:04 UTC
Problem description: 
When a multi-paragraph footnote is added to a document saved as .doc, after it's reopened a series of tab characters are added to the first line of each paragraph of the footnote, starting from the second one. Even if the tab characters are deleted they re-appear.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a blank document
2. Insert multi-parapraph footnote
3. Save document as .doc
4. Close document
5. Re-open document

Current behavior:
Tab characters are added at the first line of each paragraph of the footnote, starting from the second one. 

Expected behavior:
No tab characters are added to the footnote.

Rigoberto: Could you please attach an example document. In your case it would be good to provide both the odt and the exported doc file.

After providing that info please set the bug to UNCONFIRMED.

Hi

I have a similar and simpler problem in 3.7 release 3.5.7.2

When we save in .doc a tab character is added between footnote number and the text. Not only with multi-paragraph footnote.

I attach a simple example.
