That's simply not true. Bug 99639 was reproduced and explained by Aron. The
issue is that when in Word, if you set the margins to the *required* settings
per professional specifications, the document becomes 0.75 pages shorter.

To repro:
1. Open the document in Word;
2. Open the page margins dialog

Observed: Despite Writer saying it's 1" around each side, Word (which dictates
the professional standard in this case) shows 1.39" on top and bottom

3. Set the margins to the *specified* margin (1" all the way around)

Observed: The document is now 0.75 pages short of the limit which cuts out
substantial space (nearly 10%). This is *only* visible if the person writing
the document has Word to actually check. So if the idea is LibreOffice can
replace Word entirely and a user can avoid having to double check work in Word
- the is not present.

If this issue is not a bug, I don't know what is....
