[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 42768] FILESAVE: when I make changes to a text in .doc format ( or when transforming .odt into a .doc) and I reopen the file, footnotes and italics are not respected (or go mad, or disappear) ( see comment 12 for actual description)

--- Comment #17 from larrybradley <larry.bradley at retro.management> ---
When I purged 5.3 and installed 5.4 (Linux), then opened an existing large
document that previously had more than a hundred footnotes, the footnote
description/explanation lines existed, but the reference numbers that should
have been in the body of the document were missing entirely. Of course, one of
the results is that clicking on the footnote number in the footnote description
/ information line (see example below) takes you nowhere instead of taking you
to the corresponding superscript number in the body of the document because the
superscript number no longer exists. 

Example Footnote Line: 

105 Mr. Craigmile. N. A. C. S., Seventh Annual Proceedings, 1919, p. 614. 

(This is footnote No. 105. There is no longer a corresponding, linked 105 in
the body of the document, i.e. clicking on the 105 in the footnote takes you
nowhere because there is no longer a reference number in the body of the text
that is linked to the footnote).

This is a complete and utter disaster for me, as I use LO for writing and
editing manuscripts, many of which have more than one hundred footnotes each,
not to mention that these manuscripts drafted in LO are converted to ePub and
other formats for sale by download, something that has now been rendered
impossible for me to do without many weeks or months of fixing every file that
was drafted using LO.
