Connects to but is not the same as Bug 117112.  When importing a document from
Word Perfect Version 8, the headers "crawl" and some terminate early, marking a
particular page with a header that belongs to a different page which might
normally be later in the document.

Also the format of the headers is lost.  In a previous version I tried loading
my document which was a Word Perfect 8 document.  As it turned out, your
program was basically "bug compatible" with Microsoft Word 97; you both
misformatted it the same way, you inserted a line into the header below the
text which wasn't originally there.

What would otherwise have been a serious bug turned out to be an improvement; I
liked it better the way you "mangled" it so I inserted a horizontal line into
the header in Word Perfect.  

Importing the Word Perfect document back into OOO loses the horizontal line
which is now there!  It will take me a bit to create a sample as my document is
some 750 pages and I don't particularly want to upload all of it.

I figured out how to cut down the original and show it.  A 53-page cut down is
attached (if I can figure out how) which is just for example purposes; losing
all the cross-references causes Wp8 to crash if I try to rebuild it.  It's the
TOC and frontispieces, i through xlii roughly, plus the first two chapters
which are pages 1 through 6, then footnotes 1 and 2.

A PDF showing how it's supposed to look will next be attached.
