Hello, When saving a document as .doc from Writer, part of the Header and Footer characteristics are not saved.
How to reproduce: In Writer, go to Format -> Page -> Header -> "Header ON". Untick the "AutoFit Height" box. Apply and "OK". Now save the document as ".doc" and close it. When I open this .doc again, the "AutoFit Height" is set "ON". The same happens with Footer: "AutoFit Height" is always saved as "ON". The consequences of this behavior are seen in ".doc" documents with Header and/or Footer, where Writer automatically adds "empty" rows inside the Header and/or Footer, completely changing the resulting document. Apparently, the bug report posted at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47838 is related to the "AutoFit Height" not being saved in ".doc". I am wondering whether Writer is even capable of saving this specific setting at all. I mean, maybe this is not really a bug but just happens that Writer is not _capable_ of saving this specific characteristic(s) in ".doc" documents at all (?). Is there anything I can do so to workaround this issue? Am I doing something wrong? Is there any setting I should change? BTW, I am currently using LibreOffice 4.0.3.3 under Windows, but from the aforementioned bug report I am assuming that this problem has been present for a long time (at least a year) and under different platforms. Any comments / ideas / suggestions are appreciated.
