Bug ID: 116717
Summary: Writer 5.4.5.1 default page format forces 2 page
layout in normal view and doesn't match page width
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.4.5.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: jmason...@yahoo.com
Description:
Writer 5.4.5.1 default page format forces 2 page layout in normal view and
doesn't match page width
The page layout rules do not work on new or existing .docx documents. After
saving, the page layout portrait 8.5 wide, 11 high does not work on letter
size. Document is forced to a left-right 2 page layout. The default page size (
8.5 wide with margins ) does not work either.
I can't use the product. I can't wait for a fix.
I will attempt to delete the product and install an old working version.
If that doesn't work, I move to Microsoft Office permanently.
Very disappointed on the QA done Writer in this release.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create new doc with default page layout ( portrait 8.5 x 11 ) - add 3 pages
of text - save as .docx format -- exit
2. reopen document - add more text - page down - format changes to 2 page side
by side layout
3. format back to normal view - 8.5 margin is lost permanently
Actual Results:
the document goes to 2 page side by side layout
8.5 wide document margin is lost when formatting to normal view .. document
margin is always 11" wide regardless of page formatting sizing and choosing
tools > update > page format
Expected Results:
document should always open in default portrait 8.5 wide by 11 tall regardless
of doc type when saved ( eg .docx ).
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Software should have been identical on formatting with older releases.
Big error here.
Not recoverable.
Product not usable.
