Margin Inconsistency Between LibreOffice and MSO
Bodhi Moksha
Windows 10
LibreOffice 5.1.3
Microsoft Office 2013
LibreOffice's behavior with margins is inconsistent with Microsoft Office
causing some interop issues.
Steps:
1. Create new writer document;
2. Change margins to 1" all the way around the document;
3. Insert a footer
4. Save as docx
5. Close document
6. Open document in MSO 2013
7. Check margins
While the document appears to look okay (in terms of length), the margins have
changed to 1.39" on top and bottom. If you change these to 1" (which is
important in professional setting where details matter) then you'll see the
page length changes. I'm not sure if this was a hack to get same page length or
what, but if you do the same steps in MSO 2013 (new page, 1" margins, insert
footer) you'll see that the 1" margin is maintained after inserting the footer.
See attached document for example. Open in Writer you'll see 1" all the way
around, open it in writer and you'll see 1" all the way around, in 2013 you'll
see 1.39" on top and bottom.
As a related note, I think the underlying issue of bug 99639 was that the
margins were correctly brought in as 1" but when this is done, the page length
of the sample goes from 10 pages to 9.25" about.
