--- Comment #1 from Justin L <jluth at mail.com> ---
It looks like LO NEVER exports a nextColumn section break (nBreakCode = 1). It
just uses a normal column break. Hurray!

Fortunately, in Word it is not easy to make a column section break. In old Word
2003, it isn't a UI option under "insert breaks". It can only be specified in
"page setup", "layout", "section start new column".

So, my guess is that LO has absolutely no clue how to handle a real section
column break. (Indeed, no unit tests fail if that section of code is just
commented out.)

What we probably need to do for the compat11 case is to EXTEND the existing
section to cover this text (HOW?), and insert a regular column-break-before at
the start of the range. (It looks like that is all the columnbreak code is
trying to do, except that it fails to extend the previous section.

For the compat15 case, it looks like it should just treat a nextColumn as a
nextPage. [Need to test the compat version though. What do 14 and 12 do?]
