Bug ID: 147360 Summary: Problems Convertign microsoft office word doc. to LibreOffice Writer Product: LibreOffice Version: 7.1.8.1 release Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) OS: Linux (All) Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Writer Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: mattison.compu...@yahoo.com Description: A. background Some 7 years ago, I catalogued about 240 specimens of a mineral collection. I did this on a windows-7 home box, using microsoft office word home and student 2010. Neither windows-7 nor microsoft office word 2010 are maintained any longer. I do also have microsoft office home and student 2016, but that, too, is no longer maintained. I recently installed LibreOffice on that windows box. I also have a Linux Fedora-34 workstation. I have LibreOffice on this workstation. I need to get all those 240ish catalogue forms properly converted to LibreOffice documents on my Fedora workstation. B. problem When I try to load any of those catalogue forms in LibreOffice, the document is not even close to being correctly formatted. Also, some of the original text does not show up. Further “digging” shows the following... 1. The first page appears empty; what should be on the first page is on the second page, covering up what should be on the second page. 2. If I cut the in-front frames from the second page, and paste them onto the first page, those frames are correctly placed on the first page. But the content of the frames on both pages is incorrectly positioned well right of the proper place. Clicking an anchor icon sometimes correctly shifts the frame contents to the proper place, but sometimes deletes the frame contents. 3. Frame borders are too thin and too light. 4. Fonts are changed, some to acceptable substitutes, some to different fonts that aren't even close in appearance. C. example Since these files are huge, I put them on the google drive rather than attaching them to this bug. file “specimen label 239” (this is one of the actual catalogue forms) “https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tBsLeJN-jyrR2T9bAS_QR0ojYnMfHaeq/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=114910798012368488518&rtpof=true&sd=true%E2%80%9D” file “MSOffice2010_capture.JPG” (this shows how the catalogue form appears in microsoft office 2010 word) “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l88ms0-T6CdxMV176eSVifMMVmpxdr_X/view?usp=sharing%E2%80%9D” file “MSOffice2016_capture.JPG” (this shows how the catalogue form appears in microsoft office 2016 word) “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ueMHtpPyYRCdLAjCe_SFSdU-HYrmFcJJ/view?usp=sharing%E2%80%9D” file “LOwriter_capture.JPG” (this shows how the catalogue form appears in LibreOffice writer) “https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SmizuCGd5wzfkFLvi_dUbhl_2-TNz_xs/view?usp=sharing%E2%80%9D” D. version information (source box) windows 7 home premium service pack 1 Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 version 14.0.7268.5000 (32-bit) Microsoft Office Home and Student 2016 version 2002 (build 12527.22079 click-to-run) microsoft word 2016 MSO (16.0.12527,22086) 32-bit LibreOffice version information (on the windows-7 box): Version: 7.2.5.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community (target workstation) Fedora 34 (last updated February 10, 2022) LibreOffice Version: 7.1.8.1 Build ID: 10(Build:1) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.utf8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Steps to Reproduce: See the "description" above.
