> It may also be worth noting that the conversion generates more page styles

> Some examples:
> 1) All the page sizes are set to the same dimension, 360 x 576 pts (for a
> 5"x8" book).
> When converted, all converted page sizes are 360 x 575 pts.
> 
> 2) Most pages are set with margins Inner, Outer, Top, Bottom: 45 25 24 21
>    In the .docx these are mostly changed to: 66 36 0 0
> 
> 3) Pages with footers in the original are set with Spacing 14.2pt and Height
> 14.2 pt, and dynamic spacing and autofit height off.
>    In the converted .docx, these are changed to Spacing 21.1pt and Height
> 2.9 pt, and dynamic spacing and autofit height ON.
> 
> 4) I have a no-header-or-footer style for the first page of a chapter.
>    These pages generally convert across incorrectly and gain a header and
> footer.
>    However, even the page styles that have no header or footer visible,
> appear in the Manage Styles with Header and Footer turned ON
> 
> I don't understand why the conversion doesn't embed enough information so
> that when writer's .docx is read back by Writer, the page styles are
> preserved - both the settings, and the names, and the number.

> In my book, I have just 4 page styles defined and used. After saving to
> .docx and reopening, not only are all the page styles altered, but there are
> now 149 plus the default style.

Thanks for nice description.. Please create a new report for every issue you
encounter; a lot of work, but worth it. Every problem has a different cause an
needs an different solution; different developers etc.. And QA will lose track
if other bugs are hidden under the title page breaks :-)
