Problem description: 
Copy a text from an e-mail in evolution.
Paste text with "text not formatted" (because otherwise I can't modify the type of the character).
Save with a name in odt. 
Save that same file in doc.
Close doc, re-open doc: there are spaces between the lines, and also if you did some other arrangement in the lay-out, it won't be there any more, looking like before.
  
Old versions (some month ago) didn't have that problem.

If you paste "normally", as you copy it from the e-mail, this thing doesn't happen.

When you re-arrange the doc-document and save it newly as doc, everything is alright.

When I close the file odt, re-open it and save it again in doc (even without adding anything), that error doesn't occur, and the doc-file is like the odt-file!

Steps to reproduce:
1. copy e-mail
2. paste in libreoffice writer with "text not formatted"
3. save as odt (work in it or not)
4. save same file as doc

Current behavior:

there appear empty lines between the lines and lay-out arrangements vanished.

Expected behavior:
See the text in the same lay-out as I prepared it in odt.

not reproducible on LO 4.0.3.3 (Win7 32bit), using eM Client as email client

Hi Cornelia

To reproduce this problem, one should have Evolution as email client. I just confirm that on Win7 this problem not happen with other email client. Maybe you can test to reproduce using other email client (e.g. Mozila Thunderbird)?

If not, we have to wait someone with LO 4.0.3.3, Evolution, & Linux (should be Fedora) to confirm this problem. 

Note: to reply comment/message from your email, simply click Reply (but don't forget to remove previous comment).

Thank you for reporting & replying

I also can't reproduce this bug using LO 3.6.6 & Thunderbird (Ubuntu 12.04)

Perhaps you could provide last known LO & Evolution version that works, so other users can check.

I guess it's not related with email client, because we're pasting unformatted text. You could try creating document within blank .odt file then save as .doc, is that problem occur?

Probably it's similar to Bug 64805

Please provide the original odt file that you saved and it created two pages. 

Marking as NEEDINFO - after attaching original odt please mark as UNCONFIRMED. Thanks!
