Description Robert Markowitz 2015-08-18 17:37:48 UTC

Trying to import a Word document. Should be 2 columns of "business cards" with 5 "cards" in each column. LibreOffice only imports the left column, and appears to only give the top 3 cards. Since the "cards" contain personal information, I prefer to control who receives them and cannot attach them here for public availability.

@Robert,

Please redact the details with filler, and attach test document.

Also, rather bad form to set your own issue as NEW--especially as you've given no substantive steps to reproduce with details of how to create a new document of similar style and formatting.

This is the original Word document. It should have two columns of "business cards"

This is the output that was created

This is the output after I tried using Libre Office to import it. As you can see, the entire right column is omitted.

Comment 5 Robert Markowitz 2016-09-13 11:51:16 UTC

Here are the "before" and the "after" of my effort to import a docx file. As you can see, the right column is omitted after importing. If you need additional information, please let me know. I think we had gone through all this effort before.

Comment 6 Buovjaga 2016-10-07 18:47:41 UTC

Closing as dupe, to a newer one as I happened to confirm it before.
I verified that Robert's file works with LibreOffice 3.6 just like 102012.
