MS Word (Office) 16.0.6366.2062
Openoffice AOO420m1(Build:9800)  -  Rev. 1692551
Windows 10 laptop

I followed mwllmott2013's steps (the only difference is the updated software,
using Word 16 and OOo 4.2.0).

1. I create a paragraph of text in Word (Courier New typeface, or in a
replication, Calibri). I did this with different-size paragraphs. For example,
I used "AOO420m1(Build:9800)  -  Rev. 1692551" as the text in one of the
paragraphs I tested.

2. select the text and shrink to 1 point, 

3. copy the text and 

4. Paste Special using all of the options that seem reasonable ("GDI metafile"
and "Microsoft Word Document" give odd results that seem not relevant to this
report)

The result in AOO appears to be text that is 2 points. That is, when I select
the text, the font shows as Courier New (or Calibri).

HOWEVER

5. Select all text in the document (CTRL-A). Along with selecting my line of
text, CTRL-A selects a blank line that has a default typeface of Times and a
default size of 12 points). The typeface box and the type size box are blank on
the document window because I have selected text that includes different
typefaces and different sizes.

6. Change the font size to 2. If the font size of the pasted text is actually
2, that text should not change.

On my screen, the size of the pasted text appears to double. That is, if I look
at the letters rather than the number in the font size box, the letters appear
to have been pasted at some teeny-tiny size that is less than 2 points.

7. Start over, but this time at the end of step 4, change zoom level to 800%.
The teeny-tiny letters are now quite readable. Select them. The Properties
appear to be Calibri and 2 points. Move the cursor into the font size pulldown,
select the 2 and either overwrite it or backspace and then type 2. The number
in the box is 2 but the text has grown much bigger.

There seems to be an intermittent difference in behavior depending on whether I
select/edit the 2 in the Formatting toolbar or the 2 in the Properties box.
When I work in the Properties box, sometimes the font size (the number) changes
to 6 (rather than 2) when I edit it, even though I think I have typed in a 2.
However, when I do the test again, I get a 2. This intermittent inconsistency
might be a user error. I am mentioning it only to say, if that happens to you
when you try to replicate this, then replicate my steps from the Formatting bar
or Undo a few times and try it again in Properties.
