[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html reproduced in LibO 3.3.4, 3.4.3, 3.5.0 beta and 3.6.0 master on Fedora 64 bit and Windows XP 32 bit But with file FooterA is another problem: beginning with 3.5.0 document contains 6 pages instead of 2 and pages are very strange. Therefore *regression* @ Michael Please, look at this. This is regression with one of attached doc files Hi Jaxson, (In reply to comment #0) > Created attachment 51053 [details] > Original .doc files and PDF samples from Libreoffice and Word 2002 Can you please provide the original document so that I can test? Thanks, Cor @ Cor Nouws both original doc files are inside of archive Yes, sorry, I realised too late the file was there too ;-) I opened the FooterA.doc and B in Word 2010. With some effort, you can see that there is some mal-formed content. A line with some fields at the end, hidden because Word allows (there?) to move content out of the margin, out of the view. LibreOffice shows that, so indeed is not compatible here. I doubt if we want to be / can be. When I create a new file with Footer and pagefield in Word, there is no problem opening it in LibreOffice. So special case here (In reply to comment #2) > But with file FooterA is another problem: beginning with 3.5.0 document > contains 6 pages instead of 2 and pages are very strange. I can reproduce that. WOuld be better to have a separate issue for this (one issue, one problem) (In reply to comment #6) > I opened the FooterA.doc and B in Word 2010. > With some effort, you can see that there is some mal-formed content. > A line with some fields at the end, hidden because Word allows (there?) to move > content out of the margin, out of the view. > LibreOffice shows that, so indeed is not compatible here. I doubt if we want to > be / can be. I have to agree. Instead of just speaking of a bug, we need to clarify first if we really want LibreOffice to mimic MS Office in every respect, even when it does such strange stuff like moving contents out of view into an invisible margin area (something which a mentally normal user will only do by accident, like obviously in the sample document). At least, we should not “hide” such out-of-the-margin text in any case, but add/use a compatibility option ... IIRC, there was a similar question about Word moving text into the margin some time ago, but I can’t find it for now … Can someone else find it? Just adding a note: saw a Word document with superfluous Enters in the footer. Which are all resulting in extra paragraphs when opened in LibreOffice.. 3.5 is at the end of life so we are closing the most annoying meta bug. I can confirm on Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 80cbc04c2cbe25ebdfe2f22bb2e5ba62728e963) Bodhi Linux I am not going to move this to 3.6 MAB because it isn't affecting many people at all (seen by the lack of other comments outside of QA and Developers). This is a minor issue also as you can easily just delete the extra stuff in the bottom right (a bit annoying for a workaround but it works). *** Bug 61125 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** making this to a more general interop-issue..

test document with various examples where tabs are shown at end of line/character in Writer and not in Word
Only when there is a tab setting at the right margin and the alignment of that tab is left, the superfluous tab characters are not shown

Created attachment 51053 [details] Original .doc files and PDF samples from Libreoffice and Word 2002 Writer has added some unwanted text (three extra page number fields to be exact) to the footer of the attached FooterA.doc document (.doc is Word 97-2003 format). I've attached how the document shows in MS Word 2002 (Office XP), where the extra page numbers don't appear, and how it looks in Writer 3.4.3 where there are three extra '2' characters on each page. For a test, I changed some stuff around in the footer in Writer, saved it as FooterB.doc and opened that in Word 2002. The extra page number fields still don't show in Word, but also the text I added next to these in Libreoffice is also not shown in Word.
