Bug ID: 167202
Summary: FILEOPEN DOCX Footnote lines are numbered in Writer,
unlike in Word
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

Example file from Word 2016
Attached example file from Word shows the interaction of the "Suppress line
numbers" property in footnotes vs document body:
When a paragraph style such as Footnote Text is used in a footnote, the lines
are not numbered if line numbering is enabled for the document. This is weird
as the style has the "Suppress line numbers" property disabled, meaning lines
should be numbered. In Writer, they are indeed numbered.
When the same style is used in the document body, the lines are numbered in
both Word and Writer.
1. Open a new Writer document
2. add some text, then a footnote
3. Apply the Footnote text paragraph style on the document body text (the
attachment has this on the last two lines, 9-10).
4. On the Layout ribbon, go to Line Numbering and check Continuous
-> In the footnote there is no line numbering, in the document body there is
line numbering
5. Save the file and open it in Writer
-> In the footnote there is line numbering

Build ID: 6faa7e6f7bae3e6a613b4f4b7cee4a9c6d2b7aae

Calc: threaded
and in 3.3 already.
Writer in a new document solves this by disabling the "Include this paragraph
in line numbering" checkbox on the Footnote styles "Outline & numbering" tab.
On the other hand, this works consistently in the footnote and document body;
unlike in Word. So changing the handling of the "Include this paragraph in line
numbering" property at import time is not going to be a good solution.
To properly solve this, we probably need to implement a compatibility option.
