Bug ID: 159209
Summary: Footers appear as headers when opening old Mac Word
5.1 format documents
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.9.2 release
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When I open old Mac Microsoft Word 4.0 and 5.1 format documents that have
footers, but no headers, the footer appears instead as a header. (However, If
the old document has both header and footer, they are handled correctly.)
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open an old Mac Word Document from Word versions 4.0, 5.0, or 5.1 that has a
footer but no header
2.View the displayed file. The footer appears instead as a header.
Actual Results:
Footer appears as a header
Expected Results:
Footer should appear as a footer like it did in the old version of Microsoft
Word for Mac
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
I will attach some old Mac Word documents in formats for Word 4.0 and Word 5.1,
with footer only and again with footer and header. The documents with Footer
only demonstrate the problem. The documents with Footer and Header display
correctly. These documents are test documents with only a few words and do NOT
contain any meaningful or confidential content.
I tested this only with LibreOffice 7.5.9.2 and used two Macs, one with OS X
10.14 and the other with Mac OS Ventura (13.6.1).
