NoOp & Dennis:
What is the standard bug reporting procedure for LibreOffice? I
looked at "libreoffice.org" and didn't find anything, but I didn't look
too hard.
DENNIS: NoOp tested one of the problems I reported; see below.
NoOp: I submitted reproducible examples of two problems to Dennis.
Thanks very much for your support of LibreOffice.

Another example:
1. Download
"http://www.cagreens.org/sclara/resources/flyers/noCreditCd-bookmark20110306.odt";.
2. Open in LibreOffice 3.4.3. Save as MS Word 97 *.doc format.
3. Close, then reopen the *.doc version: When I did this now under
Windows 7, this changed the widths of the columns had changed and
with it the column breaks, etc. I checked Format -> Page -> Columns:
*.odt showed from Autowidth with columns = 1.42, space = 0.70; *.doc
had columns = 2.13, space = 0.70. The numbers do not make sense to
me, but the visual change is clear. I noticed this problem with an
earlier version of LibreOffice 3.4 and I think also with Open Office
3.3.
...
I tested as per the above, and indeed LO does save the .doc with
modified column widths. I tested by saveas in LO 3.3.3 and then opened
the .doc with:
LO 3.3.3 (linux)
LO 3.4.3 (linux)
OOo 3.2.1 (go-oo build - Ubuntu linux)
OOo 3.2.0 (Windows)
MSO Word97 (yes I have MSO97 on an VirtuaBox Win2K install)
The worst/more serious issue is that in MSO Word97 blank second column
is inserted/shown. This means that the document renders only 3 populated
columns rather than 4. Screenshot is here:

So, you've a valid bug to report. Check to see if one hasn't already
been filed before filing yours. Start a new thread regarding the problem
when you've done that and I'll be glad to contribute/add to the bug
report with my tests/screenshots.
