--- Comment #4 from Rainer Bielefeld <LibreOffice at bielefeldundbuss.de> 2012-08-14 05:58:28 UTC ---
It seems to be a FILESAVE problem.

My test with "LibreOffice  3.5.6.2  German UI/Locale [Build-ID:
e0fbe70-5879838-a0745b0-0cd1158-638b327] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit):

1. opened reporters sample
2. measure unit to inches
3. Menu 'Format -> Page': footer off, Bottom Margin 0,5" -> 0,02" 
   (ignore Printer Warning), <ok>
   > Result: text until end of sheet, for example 
     " ... manner similar to cutting canned tomatoes."
     for me on page 2 directly at page bottom
4. Save as "Mozzarella Cheese356.doc" and close
5. Reopen with MS WORD viewer
   Expected: on all pages text more or less until bottom pf paper sheet
   Actual: app. 3 text line height blank margin at page bottom

Reproducible with an own document, please see attached simple "Mysample.odt":

10. Download sample, start LibO
11. Open "Mysample.odt" from LibO Start Center file dialog
    > You see that the lorem ipsum text reaches page bottom
12. Menu 'File -> Save as -> "MysampleLibO.doc (MS WORD 97)
13. Close document
14. Reopen:
    Expected:  lorem ipsum text reaches page bottom
    Actual: Approximately 4 text lines high margin at bottom (visible with
LibO,
            MS WORD Viewer"

Might be inherited from Latest OOo version, because also reproducible with 
AOOo 3.4.

Still [Reproducible] with parallel installation of Master "LOdev 
3.7.0.0.alpha0+   - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) ENGLISH UI [Build ID: 7d8cd0a]"
(tinderbox: 2008R2 at 20, pull time 2012-08-10 23:27:17), at least with this
version no problem with save as OOXML

Might be that MS WORD only allows pages with footer if header is active but
- I do not believe so
- Problem did not exist with OOo 3.1.1
