[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from [email protected] --- I tried to replicate this bug in openoffice writer version 3.4.0, on windows 8 and Ubuntu 14.04LTS operating systems. Initially, I was unable to replicate this bug during my testing. Below are the steps I took for replicating this bug. 1. Open writer 2. Create a new document in .doc format 3. Type “Test Page 1” on page 1 4. Click Insert, and select “Manual break” 5. In the pop up window, under “style”, select “landscape” and click OK. 6. This created a new page in landscape orientation. 7. On the new page, type “Test Page 2” 8. Save the document and exit the software. 9. Reopen the application by double clicking on the document from the directory. When the document loaded, the page orientations were correct; the first page was in portrait mode and the second page was in the landscape mode. I confirmed this results with .odt files as well. After this unsuccessful attempt, I downloaded the sample file that is attached to this bug report. When I opened that sample file, I saw that both pages were in portrait mode confirming the bug. I also confirmed the bug by opening the same file in Microsoft office 2010 and noticing that Page 1 was in portrait orientation and Page 2 was in landscape orientation. After spending a little more time troubleshooting, I noticed that the file that is attached to this bug report is in .docx format. So I tried replicating the behavior by creating a new .docx document with writer. However, I found out that version 3.4.0 of writer does not allow you create a .docx file, so I thought that this version of open office may not support .docx files. To confirm this, I read the feature release notes and discovered that openoffice version 3.0 and above supports importing of office 2007 files, which means that .docx files are supported by the 3.4.0 version of writer, which makes this behavior a bug. I tested this on the latest version of openoffice (version 4.1.1) and was unable to replicate the behavior. Hence, this bug may have been fixed in the later versions of writer. This bug can be replicated on version 3.4.0 of writer by taking following steps: 1. Create a new document in .docx format using a later version of writer or using office 2007 or above. 2. Type random text on page 1 3. Insert new page in landscape mode 4. Type random text on page 2. 5. Save the document in .docx file format and close the application 6. Open the saved file in writer version 3.4.0 7. Notice the orientation of Page 2 is changes to portrait from landscape. 8. Opening same file in a newer version of writer (Ex. 4.1), you’ll noticed that the orientation remains unchanged. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
