Created attachment 115611 [details] Simple DOCX test case, Left-Right and Same should be unchecked When you import a Word .docx with both "Same Content on Left/Right" and "Same Content on First Page" unchecked and import them Writer these settings are ignored and incorrect. The same file saved as .doc works as expected. Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Word create a blank doc 2. In the header Check "Different First Page" 3. In the header Check "Different Odd & Even Pages" 4. Save as DOCX 5. Save as DOC 6. Open the files in Writer 7. Compare Settings in Header->Format Header 8. Compare results of toggling settings The .doc file correctly sets "Same Content on Left/Right" and "Same Content on First Page". The .doc file also behaves correctly when you toggle these settings. For example, check "Same Content on First Page" and the text "Different" becomes "Odd1". All of this is broken in the .docx file. The Footer also seems to suffer from the issue.

Confirmed with example files. Ubuntu 15.04 64-bit Version: 5.0.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 51d16cc69d8ad9065f61d108ea25d6a025a2e228 TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF-dbg, Branch:master, Time: 2015-05-17_03:58:58 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8) Version: 4.2.8.2 Build ID: 48d50dbfc06349262c9d50868e5c1f630a573ebd
seeing the same in 4.0.0 beta1 interestingly: the docx and doc are displayed in the same way (daily from last week)

The GUI is still showing the wrong values in Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: ee69f5e0758a2a1842362bf403dc62746437f358
Clarification: - .DOC is open all pages with "Default Style" and unchecks Same Content "on Left/Right" and "on First Page" - .DOCX is open first page with "First Page" and: -- on 1st page checks Same Content "on Left/Right" and "on First Page" -- on other pages unchecks Same Content "on Left/Right" and checks "on First Page" I wouldn't agree with bug title "LO GUI does not reflect actual Header And Footer Settings (for DOCX)". For the approaches they have, both GUIs are correct. Saving .DOC with different Same Content checks, opening in MSO is OK. Saving .DOCX with different Same Content checks, some opening OK in MSO, except when changing First Page header. Issue may be why they both don't behave similarly. Literally, .DOC can seem to behave more closely to MSO's no-page-style and question is why .DOCX is different. And which approach is better. Or, going maybe further, why neither opens document with Same Content checked but also: -- open first page with "First Page" style -- open odd pages with Right Page style and even with "Left Page" That could make sense because Word reads "First page header", "Even page header", "Odd page header". If it has some purpose. I'd like to see this issue explained somewhere in documentation, usage of styles vs. checks with regards to ODT, DOC and DOCX.
I agree with Timur - this is trying to emulate stuff with Word where we don't have feature parity, so I wouldn't worry about differences from the original document. Having a different approach from DOC can be nice in these cases - if one format doesn't look right, try the other format.
We have 2 options here: 1. to try to define some action as "Expected result", having in mind both DOC and DOCX 2. to accept current differences which still result with correct fileopen and turn this bug to Documentation bug to have behavior explained.

(In reply to Timur from comment #6) > - .DOC is open all pages with "Default Style" and unchecks Same Content... > - .DOCX is open first page with "First Page" and: Sounds like the round-trip in MSO is broken. Don't see need to document this on our help.
