Description Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2023-01-10 08:54:02 UTC 
Created attachment 184553 [details]
Screenshot of the document in Word and Writer

When attachment 181299 [details] from bug 150037 is opened, the text fields are opened with spaces as default placeholders.
This is different than in Word, which uses a series of spaces and the degree sign character: ° (at least I think this is it...)

1. Open attachment 181299 [details] 
2. Notice the default placeholders of the text fields in the middle of the page.
This is visible only in Formatting Marks visible mode, if they are hidden, the document looks the same in Word as in Writer.

Comment 1 Dieter 2023-01-25 07:19:48 UTC 
Placeholders always invisible (with and without formatting marks active)

Don't understand, why this is an enhancement request and not a bug.
