sample for the date field bug

Wenn I save a document as doc (XP) with a date field (not fix), the field 
will be saved, but not the kind of date and the text format.

If I use odt as format, it will work.

In the sample, both line formated with identical text format, color,
background and date style.

Loading the file shows the difference in text format and date style.

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Comment 2 Ernst 2011-12-27 12:00:24 UTC 
Bug is still available in version 3.4.4

There are some more infos lost on saving in doc (XP).
Comment 3 Joel Madero 2014-11-04 03:42:17 UTC 
Never confirmed by QA team - moving to UNCONFIRMED.
Comment 4 Ernst 2014-11-04 20:16:36 UTC 
Bug is in 4.2.6.3 still available.

Easy to reproduce:

Put a datefield on a plain page, format this field with font, size, color, style etc.
Save it as odt,doc or docx.
Load this pages again.
In doc and docx missing some formats.

Version field is oldest version, not latest - we just leave comments to say the bug is still present.

Did this, except no style changes. Doc was ok and the formatting in docx, too, except the contents of the field turned into "Date (fixed)" in the docx.

I can not confirm with LO 4.3.4, win7. Seems to be fixed. Closing as worksforme, set to unconfirmed again if you have still problem in LO 4.3.4.
Problem with export to .docx is bug 59886
