This is: - a clearcut upstream issue - wishlist/feature request unlikely to be fixable with a simple patch - wont be fixed in libreoffice packaging Resolving as WONTFIX in libreoffice packaging. This does not mean the issue will not be cared about, but if it is cared about (even by Ubuntu/Canonical contributors), it is done upstream at LibreOffice.

If I use 'Save As', the newly-created DOC file becomes the default for the document, so the changes I make will be saved to the DOC file and not to the ODT original. I have, in effect, created a fork of the original. This means that whenever I save to DOC I must close the document and re-open the ODT to continue editing. This is a manual process, and is easy to forget. It's very annoying when we've accidentially continued to edit the DOC and we must merge the changes back into the ODT. It would be better if the ODT remains as the main trunk of development, then I explicitly export ('branch') to DOC when required. My company is very supportive of open standards, but the lack of such a feature makes standardising on ODT troublesome, especially for our less tech-savvy staff members. We should be doing more to keep ODT as the default and treating DOC as a secondary export format for compatibility only. WORKAROUND: Save the file via OOo GUI, then immediately convert the file using unoconv. Example Writer file conversion via the Terminal: unoconv --listener && unoconv -f doc example.odt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/403830/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
