@Christopher "With what document is this reproducible in specifically?"
Apologies for not responding to your question Any document. All documents. I have provided example files earlier at #10 and #11. Basically, open LibreOffice change page style to First Page (with no header or footer) add some text like 'this is the first page' ctrl enter for a hard page break add a header to page two like 'Default Header' add some text like 'this is page two' to the page body add a footer to page two like 'Default Footer page <insert> <fields> <page number>' <file><save> name it 'testfile.odt' then <file><save as> and save it as a MS word 97/2000/xp/2003 doc file 'testfile.doc' close LO reopen the new doc file by double-clicking it and presto! no headers or footers anywhere to be seen Again apologies for not responding to your question earlier and for any incorrect usage of this bug reporting system. Also my intention was not to amalgamate any multiple issues, but to provide additional info on my particular installations in case there was some significant difference which could be identified between our systems / installs which might establish how it could be working for you and broken for the rest of us. It would really help if you could run through the procedure above to establish for sure that you get headers on page two and none on page one in the resultant .doc file. It only takes a few minutes - much less time than it took me to type this lot. If it works your end I will do a full reinstall of 12.10 ubuntu i386 on my spare 64bit machine (currently running 12.10 64bit) and see if it works ok here. Does this being marked resolved mean the issue is closed and we must now start a new bug report in order to get it fixed? It is such an important issue. Why is it a problem to leave it open? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to openoffice.org in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626827 Title: [Upstream] Saving to .doc format copies first page header onto all others Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Invalid Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org Binary package hint: libreoffice 1) Natty: lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch) Release: 11.04 Maverick: lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 2) Natty: apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu5 Candidate: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu5 Version table: *** 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Maverick: apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1 Candidate: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1 Version table: *** 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected is when one performs at the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/626827/+attachment/1871555/+files/05%20Orfanosentel%20bug.doc && lowriter -nologo 05\ Orfanosentel\ bug.doc Click File -> Save As -> File name: 05 Orfanosentel bug.doc -> File type: Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc) -> Save button -> Yes button -> Keep Current Format button -> close the document -> reopen the document the headers remain as they were when first downloaded. 4) What happened instead is that the header from the first page is inserted in the header of all subsequent pages.
