Created attachment 85173 [details] Documents Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. File > Save a document in .odt format 2. File > Save a document in .docx format Current behavior: It is noted that currently saving in a different format results in loss of content. Similar behaviour had been noticed with my assignment, and, I had thought that I had done some mistake but I lost about two days of typing when I was copying and saving the documents. Expected behavior: No content loss is made when saving content or transposing to a different format. Opportunity cost for this data loss in terms of intellectual property can be estimated as: €50 x 16 hours = €800 excluding administrative expenses. Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.1.1.2 rc Last worked in: 3.6.7.2 rc

It is to be noted that saving in any other format then .odt (the ISO approved open standard) can even incur more costs: medical expenditures, child psychologist expenditures and even some taxi bills for going to and from hospital. Since it is insane to want to use anything else :)

Testing with Ubuntu 12.04.3 + LO 4.1.2.3 Following OP's steps to reproduce as closely as possible: 1. File -> Save a document in .odt format 2. File -> Save As -> 'All Formats' -> Microsoft Word 2007/2010 XML (.docx) I see the following warning: --- Confirm File Format This document may contain formatting or content that cannot be saved in the currently selected file format "Microsoft Word 2007/2010 XML". Use the default ODF file format to be sure that the document is saved correctly. [Button: Use Microsoft Word 2007/2010 XML Format] [Button: Use ODF Format] [checkbox: x] Ask when not saving in ODF format --- 3. Click "[Button: Use Microsoft Word 2007/2010 XML Format]" 4. (Current behavior: It is noted that currently saving in a different format results in loss of content.) RESULTS: As described in Step #2, the user is warned about data loss before the document is saved in DOCX format. Jonathan - What do you think about the content of the warning that is presented to the user? Do you have any suggestions on how we might better inform our userbase about incompatibilities or feature differences between file formats? Thanks
