Description Gryllida 2011-12-09 16:20:27 UTC 
This issue is about saving text file with equation objects in the docx format. The equation objects are not saved properly, so that they are not seen after re-opening the file.

Steps to reproduce:
1) File > New > Text Document
2) Insert > Object > Formula, 
3) Type "1 over 2 = 0.5" and go back to normal mode.
4) File > Save As, MS word 2007/2010 xml (.docx)
5) File > Close.
6) Re-open the file.

Expected result: to see the equation object.

Actual result: the equation object is lost.

NOT reproducible anymore for me with LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 (Build-ID: 281b639-6baa1d3-ef66a77-d866f25-f36d45f), German UI, running on MacOS X 10.6.8.

Following the steps given in the original description (@Gryllida: thank you very much for your exact description!), everything works as expected: when I re-open the file, the equation object is there.

There is a good chance that this bug really got fixed in between; there have been some fixes to formula import/export to/from .docx.

@Gryllida,
@tester8:
Could you please try again with LibreOffice 3.5.2 (or newer), if you can still reproduce the problem? If NOT, we can close this bug report as RESOLVED/WORKSFORME ...
