Description ape 2012-07-28 06:21:25 UTC

The program "LibreOffice Writer" for all versions, all operating systems.
The file "DOC-export footnote Error.odt" (see attachment_57017; https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=57017) has lost a text of few footnotes when exporting to DOCX-format:
 1. Open the file "DOC-export footnote Error.odt".
 2. File save as a text document "Microsoft Office 2007-2010" - "DOC-export footnote Error.docx" (see attachment_64811; https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=64811).
 3. Reload or reopen the file "DOC-export footnote Error.docx".
 Footnotes of the file "DOC-export footnote Error.docx", beginning with the 59th, completely lost the text. The file "DOC-export_footnote_Error.docx:\word\footnotes.xml" contains the text and ID of all footnotes.

Attachment 64811 [details] is a rather obscure document with horrible damages from unknwon sources, please see my comment in "Bug 52610 - FILESAVE particular document as .docx (Office Open): Can not be opened with other office software"! I doubt that we should invest manpower here.

@ape:
It would be great if you could create from the scratch an .odt demonstrating the problem. On such a base chance that a developer will accept the Bug is very much bigger.

Created attachment 64836 [details]

I hope that animation (see attachment) explains the reason for the disappearance of the text in the footnote with the number> 57. Checked, corrected the file in a text editor.
On the left - "footnotes.xml" file "Bad_LibO.docx" (attachment 64811 [details])
Right - "footnotes.xml" file "Good_MSO_&_ODFadd-in.docx" (attachment 64816 [details])
