Bug ID: 142464
Summary: Date format from MS Word not imported correctly
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice

docx with date fields
I have a date-time field in a docx (created in MS Word 365) which is formatted
with the string:
TIME \@ "M/d/yyyy h:mm am/pm" \* MERGEFORMAT
which displays correctly in Word as:
(e.g.) 5/24/2021 1:55 PM
When I open this document in LibreOffice (tested with 5.3.7.2 on Linux and
7.0.6.2 on Windows with the same outcome in each) the date-time displays as:
(e.g.) 5/24/2021 13:55 a5/p5
This suggests that the am/pm marker from the MS format isn't being recognized
as an instruction to use a 12hr clock and display the am/pm marker, but rather
than it should use a 24hr clock and display the a and p as literal strings and
interpret the "m" as a month marker.
This behavior is also observed when running a command line "convert-to" odt.
I have attached the original docx to enable re-production. This docx also
demonstrates related date-time bugs for tickets:
136347 - (See Last Print Time in attached docx)
65209 - (When converting to ODT, TZ info is lost)
