            Bug ID: 130037
           Summary: Program update wipes out all style formatting when
                    saving documents created with older versions
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: medelste at hotmail.com

Description:
When LibreOffice is updated and an existing Writer document created with an
older program version is opened and then saved, all Styles are wiped out.  All
styles must be added and then manually reset line by line.  This is disastrous
when working in formatted templates, such as screenplays.  I have been forced
to stop accepting all LibreOffice updates as a result.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save a style-formatted Writer document, such as a screenplay.
2. Update to a newer version of LibreOffice.
3. Open the older document, work on it, save it, and close it.
4. Reopen the same document.

Actual Results:
All existing style formatting is gone.  A 100 page screenplay will now take two
hours to reformat with required styles.

Expected Results:
All style formatting should NOT be erased.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
