--- Comment #4 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Dieter from comment #2) > LO should be more than just a pure copy > of MS Office and if it is possible to provide a better solution, we should > provide it. First of all: there is no "better" solution for opening *any file* than to show the document exactly as it was intended to be shown by the author. Which means: * For external formats: follow the format specification *and the de-facto standard implementation* - which, for OOXML, would be MS Office applications. * For legacy documents in own format: open them exactly as they were shown previously. Anything else is simply breaking existing documents and interoperability, so would be unacceptable. So the *only* way this could be ever implemented is just for newly created own documents, where the document would bear a "new-style" compatibility flag (which missing state would mean "keep hiding the empty paragraphs", making it safe for old documents). And generally, unless there is a user demand, I see this a WONTFIX - it looks primarily invented problem without any evidence that users need it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
