> If this issue is not a bug, I don't know what is....
Just one more clarification here. So my point is that if I did not have Word, I
would have just submitted the document *as is*. One of two situations would
have happened:
1) The reviewer would have checked the margins and seen 1.39" around and
*refused to read the content*, resulting in a VERY bad situation;
2) The reviewer would have seen 1.39" on top and bottom, changed these to 1" on
top and bottom (as the professional standards *required*) and would have seen
that I was nearly 10% short of the page limit. Then the reviewer undoubtedly
would have noticed some issues that I could have written about and been upset
that I left 10% of the page limit unwritten.
If the idea is "LibreOffice can kind of work for you if you have MS Office to
verify that professional standards are being applied" then sure, this works. I
can always open a document in Word to double check that my document is being
treated identically in Word and Writer. It's a PITA and I'm personally unlikely
to do it (why wouldn't I just use Word to begin with?)
If the idea is that LibreOffice can *replace* Microsoft Office and at least in
many basic situations (a writer document with a single type face, one size
font, that has footers and headers IMHO meets this) a user *need not fear* that
a Word user would observe something inconsistent with LibreOffice - then
LibreOffice is falling short of this goal.
I'm not dictating that someone fix it (of course a volunteer would have to opt
to do that), I'm just growing increasingly frustrated that I'm getting push
back that this is a bug.
