Bug ID: 163695
Summary: Incorrect rendering and impossible to edit in Writer a
multi-column-footnotes one-column-document created in
MS Word
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.2.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I tried to open in Writer a (one-column) document created in MS Word (.docx),
which contained footnotes formatted in three columns. In Writer the footnotes
were rendered in just ONE column on the left, ruining the whole document idea
as in this case it is crucial that the footnotes (quite a lot in the document)
are multi-column formatted to provide enough space for the body text and not
take half of the page for footnotes.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a simple one-column document in MSWord (.docx), containing, say, 12
footnotes, which are formatted in three columns
2. Open the document in Writer
3.
Actual Results:
The footnotes (originally formatted in three columns, in MS Word) show in just
one column on the left, taking a lot of space of the whole page (and the
footnotes-space on the right is left unused and empty).
Expected Results:
I would expect that the footnotes formatted (in MS Word) in three columns show
also in Writer in three columns and not in one column.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
LibreOffice is a great product and its current functionality seems not to be so
far away from a professional typesetting system as well. If the gap between LO
and professional typesetting systems could be approximated, that would be
really great as it could then be used for professional typography goals.
