            Bug ID: 131964
           Summary: formatting of word files
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.7.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

Description:
Hi!

I've been using Libreoffice for a few years. Sometimes I have
noticed 
that it does not conserve the formatting of Word files from MS
Office, 
especially when there are columns.

Now a client told me that the format is often messed up in files
they 
receive back from me after revision. It seems to be the case with
text 
colour, font size, bullet lists, "Markierungen" (markings - might be 
marking colours behind words or word groups, or maybe track changes
... ?)

Here is a file that would not work in MS Office again. Sorry that I 
cannot send you the complete original, before and after my revision,
but 
it is client content of course.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Wordfile
2. Save file from Libreoffice
3. Send file to client
4. Client complains about messed up bullet lists, text font or size or colour
etc

Actual Results:
Please see above. Format gets messed up just by using Libreoffice. Even in
relatively simple formatting.

Expected Results:
Customer complaints.


Reproducible: Didn't try


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Keeping the formatting at least in relatively straightforward docs.
