--- Comment #3 from Roman Eisele <bugs at eikota.de> 2012-04-21 06:43:06 PDT ---
I have tested this issue again with
* LibreOffice 3.4.5
* LibreOffice 3.5.2.2,
both with German UI and both running on MacOS X 10.6.8, German UI. I have
exported Zack's original .odt file to .doc (the Word 97/2000/XP/2003 variant)
files with both LibreOffice versions and then opened both .doc files with MS
Word 2010 running on Windows 7 (German UI).

I will attach screenshots of the results. Looking at them and comparing them
with the look of Zack's original .odt file in LibreOffice 3.4.5 or 3.5.2.2.
either (I will attach another screenshot, just for completeness), I judge that
this issue is completely or almost completely resolved:

* The header line is right-aligned now like like in the .odt file.
* The main headline is centered now like like in the .odt file.
* The body text has double line spacing now like like in the .odt file.
* The placement of the footnotes is now like in the .odt file.
* The overall page layout is nearly identical now. There is a one-line
difference at the end of page 2, with impact on placement of footnote #6 (see
screenshots), but I regard this as minor difference which will always occur
when converting between different file formats (or just between different word
processors).

The only ugly difference left is the beginning of the underline of hyperlinks
in footnotes, when the text of the footnote begins with a hyperlink
immediately; in LibreOffice/.odt, the underline properly begins at the http://,
but in Word/.doc, the space (tab) between footnote number and footnote text
gets an underline, too. IMHO this a very minor minor issue which would never
occur if you would start all footnotes with some text, e.g. 'See ...', 'Cf.
...' etc. before the hyperlink, what would be (IMHO again) better citation
style. But if this issue is of special importance for somebody, it would be
appropriate to file a specific bug report for it, because
a) a very precise bug report about exactly one issue is much more likely to get
fixed, and
b) this hyperlink-at-start-of-footnote issue is of less severity than the
original bundle of issues reported by Zack, therefore needs other 'Importance'
settings.

Because there are only minor formatting differences left now; because this bug
is fixed now both in LibreOffice 3.4.x and 3.5.x (and in 3.6.x, too); because
the bug seems to be fixed already for some time (see comment #2 by
s-joyemusequna, dated 2012-01-28), I think we can and should close this bug
report. Feel free to reopen it if the issue reported by Zack is still
reproducible for you or returns.
