[Bug 899304] Re: Libreoffice writer saves page number headers in .odt and .doc formats, but not in .docx

 

JC, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it
would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers
of the software by following the instructions at
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport . If you have done so,
please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can
add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

** Description changed:

- libreoffice 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
+ Release:	11.10
+ 
  ubuntu 11.10 64bit
- I saved a file in .docx format with page numbers in the header and when i reopened the document, the page numbers were gone (but the headers spaces were still there).
- If I save the exact same document in .doc or .odt, the page number headers are still there upon reopening the documents.
