Priority: medium
Bug ID: 69445
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: FILESAVE: Footnotes (and page numbers) vanish
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.1.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
The short version is that all my footnotes were gone when I re-opened a file.
The actual superscript numbers were present in the main body of the text, as
were the footnote numbers at the bottom of the page, but all actual contents of
the footnotes were gone. There were 212 footnotes. I have a lot of work ahead
of me... (The page numbers were gone as well, but I don't really care about
those too much!)
I do note that one footnote survived. I think it may have been in a different
style than all the others. It was simply "footnote", whereas I think all the
others were "footnote text". I can't check since (multiple) earlier versions of
the file have the same problem.
The file began life as a .docx created by Word (2007, I think, but it might
have been 2010) on a Windows 7 box. I then worked on it using LO 4.0.5 on
Windows 8 (I know, I know!). At some point I upgraded to LO 4.1.1.2 and
continued to work on it. I'm pretty certain that once I upgraded to LO 4.1.1.2
I kept the program open (i.e. overnight) while I worked on it, and it wasn't
until I closed the program and re-opened the files that the footnotes were
gone. I was very, very sad.
The .docx file is not openable at all in Word (or by Gmail's "view document"
feature). I was able to get a version that could be opened in Word by saving it
as an .odt and then as a .doc (not .docx), but the footnotes of course were
still gone. The original .docx can create a working PDF, but the footnotes
aren't there.
A crushing, discouraging bug!
