Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 64866
Word Export: First page header/footer transfered to other pages
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:15:41 UTC
I created odt document with first page header/ footer, exported to .doc (2000/XP format). Closed document opened again and I found the first page header/footer on second page, previously not having header/footer.
Created attachment 36125 [details] odt ducument before exporting to doc
Created attachment 36126 [details] doc file with extra header/footer result of saving
confirmed with 680_m164 on WinXP Pro SP2
MRU->FLR: export attached odt to WW8 format and reopen -> now both üages have a header. It looks that the export filter is not aware of the manual page break including a page style change.
I have reproduced the bug also on Linux with OOo-2.0.2 and OOo-2.0.3rc2. It seems that the problem is only with the format MS Word 97/2000/XP. It looks fine when I export it into MS Word 95 or MS Word 6.0.

Word 2003 XML output demonstrates same defect for file provided Word 6.0 output demonstrates a variation in header format for file provided The para style name for the header is retained in the word 6.0 conversion round trip but not in Word 2003.
A contributor to the OOo forum pointed out the workaround of creating a null header instead of having no header http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=43310
When saving as .doc and reopening in OOo pre-2.3 it WorksForMe.
But it does not work when opening in Word. This is not just about header/footer, it is about the whole page style (margins, etc) Is there any working workaround for this? I saved in word XP/95/6.0 formats, opened in MS Word 2003, and the first page style was in every page in every case.
according to release status meeting: target 3.x

Problem still exists in version 2.3.1
Issue still exists in OOorg 3. Once saved as MS Word document, First Page formatting is applied to all pages.
The same problem in 3.1 dev m7
Problem still exists in version 3.3.1
Please note that this defect is a showstopper for any professional user of a word processor who needs to send files in Word format to clients and the like. The community forums get quite a lot of complaints about it (I've been a volunteer there for a few years, so I know). Word does have a section ending that matches the page style transit in OOo, so please use that. Please.
isn't this the same as issue 60332 ? If not, it is at least very closely related
confirmed... still exists in OOo version 3.1.1 with ubuntu 9.10

If the language settings in header/footer are deleted exporting to doc is correct. Maybe this is a temporary workaround (see attachment Template02)
