Description Joachim Otahal 2012-04-05 13:31:01 UTC
Page breaks never get really deleted, bug shows when saving as docx.

The EXACT way to reproduce:
new document, type "1" in the line and hit CR, then add a manual page break.
type "2" in a line and hit CR, add a manual page break.
Repeat until you reach 5.
Save the document as .odt.
Close LO.
Open the document.
Remove the page breaks (using the symbol which appears between the pages when you hover there).
Save as .odt.
Close LO.
Open the .odt, everything looks fine.
Do "file" "save as" "microsoft office 2007/2010 docx".
Close LO.
Open the .docx you just saved.
Your page breaks which you removed before saving as .odt are back again.

Opened Page-Break2.odt and save as Page-break3.docx

This is where the deleted page breaks reappear which I deleted in Page-Break2.odt

Open page-break3.docx and save as page-break4.odt

The removed and reappeared page breaks stay.
Comment 5 Joachim Otahal 2012-04-05 13:37:34 UTC
The only way I found to really remove the page breaks:
Load the docx. in office 2010, remove page break, save.
Open in LO, and finally they are gone and stay gone, no matter whether you save as .docx or .odt.

Here are the relevant source content.xml parts:

The relevant parts extracted from the odt..

This is the one with the normal five page breaks (Page-Break1.odt/content.xml):

<office:automatic-styles>
<style:style style:name="P1" style:family="paragraph" style:parent-style-name="Standard">
<style:paragraph-properties fo:break-before="page"/>
</style:style>
</office:automatic-styles>
<office:body>
<office:text text:use-soft-page-breaks="true">
<text:sequence-decls>
<text:sequence-decl text:display-outline-level="0" text:name="Illustration"/>
<text:sequence-decl text:display-outline-level="0" text:name="Table"/>
<text:sequence-decl text:display-outline-level="0" text:name="Text"/>
<text:sequence-decl text:display-outline-level="0" text:name="Drawing"/>
</text:sequence-decls>
<text:p text:style-name="Standard">1</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="Standard"/>
<text:p text:style-name="P1">2</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="Standard"/>
<text:p text:style-name="P1">3</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="Standard"/>
<text:p text:style-name="P1">4</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="Standard"/>
<text:p text:style-name="P1">5</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="Standard"/>
</office:text>
</office:body>
</office:document-content>


This is the one with the page breaks "removed", or rather hidden (why set to auto?) Page-Break2.odt/content.xml:

<office:automatic-styles>
<style:style style:name="P1" style:family="paragraph" style:parent-style-name="Standard" style:master-page-name="">
<style:paragraph-properties style:page-number="auto" fo:break-before="auto" fo:break-after="auto"/>
</style:style>
<style:style style:name="P2" style:family="paragraph" style:parent-style-name="Standard" style:master-page-name="">
<style:paragraph-properties style:page-number="auto" fo:break-before="auto" fo:break-after="auto"/>
</style:style>
<style:style style:name="P3" style:family="paragraph" style:parent-style-name="Standard" style:master-page-name="">
<style:paragraph-properties style:page-number="auto" fo:break-before="auto" fo:break-after="auto"/>
</style:style>
<style:style style:name="P4" style:family="paragraph" style:parent-style-name="Standard" style:master-page-name="">
<style:paragraph-properties style:page-number="auto" fo:break-before="auto" fo:break-after="auto"/>
</style:style>
</office:automatic-styles>
<office:body>
<office:text>
<text:sequence-decls>
<text:sequence-decl text:display-outline-level="0" text:name="Illustration"/>
<text:sequence-decl text:display-outline-level="0" text:name="Table"/>
<text:sequence-decl text:display-outline-level="0" text:name="Text"/>
<text:sequence-decl text:display-outline-level="0" text:name="Drawing"/>
</text:sequence-decls>
<text:p text:style-name="Standard">1</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="Standard"/>
<text:p text:style-name="P1">2</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="Standard"/>
<text:p text:style-name="P1">3</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="Standard"/>
<text:p text:style-name="P1">4</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="Standard"/>
<text:p text:style-name="P1">5</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="Standard"/>
</office:text>
</office:body>
</office:document-content>


This is the way after the merry go round through word 2010, remove the page breaks and re-save it in LO as .odt, now the page breaks are REALLY removed Page-Break4.odt/content.xml:

<office:automatic-styles>
<style:style style:name="P1" style:family="paragraph" style:parent-style-name="Standard">
<style:paragraph-properties fo:margin-top="0cm" fo:margin-bottom="0cm"/>
</style:style>
<style:style style:name="P2" style:family="paragraph" style:parent-style-name="Standard" style:master-page-name="Standard">
<style:paragraph-properties fo:margin-top="0cm" fo:margin-bottom="0cm" style:page-number="auto"/>
</style:style>
</office:automatic-styles>
<office:body>
<office:text>
<text:sequence-decls>
<text:sequence-decl text:display-outline-level="0" text:name="Illustration"/>
<text:sequence-decl text:display-outline-level="0" text:name="Table"/>
<text:sequence-decl text:display-outline-level="0" text:name="Text"/>
<text:sequence-decl text:display-outline-level="0" text:name="Drawing"/>
</text:sequence-decls>
<text:p text:style-name="P2">
<text:bookmark-start text:name="_GoBack"/>1</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="P1">2</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="P1">3</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="P1">4</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="P1">5</text:p>
<text:p text:style-name="P1">
<text:bookmark-end text:name="_GoBack"/>
</text:p>
</office:text>
</office:body>
</office:document-content>

Ignore previous PageBreak4.odt - this is the one after the merry-go-round through Word 2010.

Now the Page Breaks are really gone.
