[Bug 817013]

 

I agree that this is a pretty debilitating bug - particularly for people
writing resumes in this difficult economy.  Instead of true bullet
points, the people receiving the resumes are receiving a weird character
if shared in Word format.  This definitely does not look professional.

Title:
  [Upstream] bullet points change to rectangle glyphs after saving as
  docx and reopening

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  In Progress
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:

  Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:	11.04

  2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
  libreoffice-writer:
    Installed: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2
    Candidate: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2
    Version table:

  3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget -c
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/817013/+attachment/2241146/+files/Bullet%20Bug.odt
  -O info.odt && lowriter -nologo info.odt

  save as info.docx, close the file, and open info.docx and it looks as
  it does in info.odt.

  4) What happens instead is the bullet points are replaced with
  rectangles in LO 3.3.2, and some other symbol in 3.3.3.
