            Bug ID: 129640
           Summary: LibreOffice doesn't retain the paragraph formatting
                    for .doc and some RTF files on a Mac
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.2.2 release
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: Brucelgrubb at gmail.com

Description:
LIbreOffice ignores some of the paragraph formatting of .doc and some RTF files
on a Mac.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.View RTF file in TextEdit (.doc in Pages) to confirm formating
2.Open RTF or .doc file in LibreOffice
3.Note that some paragraph breaks are missing

Actual Results:
Many clear paragraph breaks are ignored resulting in a wall of text.

Expected Results:
Paragraph format to be retained 


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
The work around is easy but requires the use of the Pages program.

1)Open RTF or .doc file in Pages
2)Export as a .docx file
3)Open .docx file in LibreOffice

Important note: saving the file as RTF from LibreOffice results in a much
larger file (5.1 MB vs 1.6 MB for the file I am using) but the formatting is
retained if opened back up in LibreOffice.  However, the two RTF files look
Identical in TextEdit.
