[Bug 915080] Re: Column formatting not honored saving to .doc

 

Stefano Vettori, 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.

** Summary changed:

-  file with 2 column and index
+ Column formatting not honored saving to .doc

** Description changed:

- I'm using a file word with 2 columns and the index, without sections
- When I open it again the index isn't on columns, but on all the page and appear 2 section
- I cancel the 2 sections and the files works correctly until I exit and re-enter
