Roman Eisele <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depends on| |46020 --- Comment #243 from Roman Eisele <[email protected]> 2012-03-21 03:37:42 PDT --- May I nominate Bug 46020 — "Loss of footnotes when exporting to DOC-File"? A long-standing bug, of course, but IMHO very important, because this kind of silent, not easy to notice, but severe footnote data loss is exactly the kind of problem that could make LibreOffice useless for scientific, Academic and other purposes and could chase out many users if it became public ... (How can I say to my students: "Just use LibreOffice instead of MS Office, it's free and fast, you can save you document as DOC file later, if you ever need to do so", when there is the possibility that some footnotes get lost on DOC export? Then, if I say to a student: "This is a citation but you did not mark it! You made a plagiarism!" the student could just answer: "Oh no, there was footnote giving the complete reference, but LibreOffice must have killed the footnote when I saved the document as DOC file." Even the former German Minister of Defense, Karl Theodor zu Guttenberg, who had to withdraw because he missed so many many many quotation marks and references in his PhD thesis, could excuse himself by saying "I used OpenOffice, and it has killed all the footnotes." ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
