--- Comment #11 from Justin L <jluth at mail.com> ---
In regards to tools -> options -> Writer -> compatibility "add paragraph and
table spacing at tops of pages":

This is DocumentSettingId::PARA_SPACE_MAX_AT_PAGES/ParaSpaceMaxAtPages
also known as  AddSpacingAtPages
also known as ADD_PARA_TABLE_SPACING_AT_START/AddParaTableSpacingAtStart

confirmed that compatibility with Word is enabled in almost every case. Seems
to be coming from this setting having a value of "true"
officecfg/registry/schema/org/openoffice/Office/Compatibility.xcs:      <prop
oor:name="AddSpacingAtPages" oor:type="xs:boolean" oor:nillable="false">

true for DOC, but not absolutely guaranteed for DOCX/RTF.
m_rDoc.getIDocumentSettingAccess().set(DocumentSettingId::PARA_SPACE_MAX_AT_PAGES,
true );  //ww8par.cxx

It defaults to 
unotools/source/config/compatibility.cxx: setValue<bool>(
Index::AddSpacingAtPages, false );
but that seems is irrelevant.

I'm not sure what Mike means by being inconsistent. Perhaps because all of
these extras/source/autotext/lang/bg/standard/***/settings.xml are set to
false?

Although it LOOKS like you can save the "off" state as a user default in the
UI, it doesn't actually save there. So it appears to me that in NO CASE is it
ever off UNLESS THE DOCUMENT SETTINGS turn it off. And THAT could only happen
if a user flips that switch. I don't think it is off even for very old
documents that pre-date this setting.

Advanced settings are needed to change this at the _Default level.


At this point I didn't expect to be able to find documents with this value, and
yet it seems we have Businesscard-with-logo template and a few other things
with this as false.

The only actionable conclusion I can come to is ensure that DOCX/RTF have this
value set to true.
