------- Additional comments from [email protected] Tue Mar 9 00:01:00 +0000 2010 ------- I have custom templates in Writer in OOo 3.2.0, with a first page and following pages. When I prepare a document in OOo with that template and save it as .odt, I can open it again in OOo and the template is respected. But if I save the document in .doc format and subsequently re-open it with OOo, the template has been replaced with the default template, with no dfference between the 1st page and subsequent pages. Opening Format - Page - Organiser shows "Default" to be followed by "Default" instead of, for example, the original "First Page" followed by "Following Page" or by "Default". I have not managed to attach here the example files, but the phenomenon is very easy to reproduce. The problem is SEVERE, as I personally refuse to go on buying new versions of Microsoft Word and INSIST on using OOo, but most of the people I have to work with insist on continuing to use MS Word or have no choice in the matter. So for me it is a MAJOR compatibility issue. And no doubt for many others as well. Or is there some step I am missing in the fixing of my templates? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
