Created attachment 97846 [details] paragraph showing how the paragraphs are saved in odf 1.1 and odf 1.2 I downloaded the .docx file found at < http://download.microsoft.com/documents/rus/microsoft4you/How_to_license_the_operating_system_Windows_8_new.docx > and saved it as a odf 1.1 file. Then i opened the file in LibO and on page 3, a few of the paragraphs not retaining the 'dont add the space between paragraphs of the same type'. Tested in LibO 4.0+.
Reproducible, tested using Mac OSX 10.9 with LibreOffice Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: eddd7646d672ea9b0561dacb09da224d098e531e TinderBox: MacOSX-x86@49-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-07-18_06:13:47 What I did: * Open document * Tools > Options > Load/Save > General * ODF format version -> 1.0/1.1 * OK * File > Save as > odt * Reopen saved file * Go to page 3 Behavior: you already can notice some extra spaces between pages. If you go to right click > Paragraph ... > 'Indents & spacing' the checkbox before "don't add the space between paragraphs of the same type" is unchecked. If you open the original .docx file it is checked.
well ODF 1.0/1.1 (and 1.2) don't have a formatting property "don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" so we can't export that to these formats, only to ODF 1.2 extended. so i guess this works as designed.
Doesn't ODF 1.0 support extensions?
(In reply to Urmas from comment #3) > Doesn't ODF 1.0 support extensions? of course, every version of ODF allows for extensions, but with the ODF 1.0/1.1/1.2 settings we aim to export strictly conforming documents only; if extensions are acceptable, there is no good reason to use something else than the latest ODF version. or in other words, ODF 1.2 is something not entirely unlike "ODF 1.1 extended" :)
