            Bug ID: 142315
           Summary: I self publish on Amazon KDP, but I lose some of my
                    formatting in the .idt format I write in, when I save
                    as .doc and even worse, if I save as .docx
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.7.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: monique at moniques.site

Description:
For publishing on Amazon KDP some formatting features, like headings for
chapters and so on, are translated to make the mobi version. Unfortunately some
formatting, page breaks for example or the "Schusterjungen and Hurenkinder"
regelung always make it necessary to debug the whole document again after
saving and even then the supposedly rectified .doc file doesn't get properly
transformed sometimes I wonder what could cause that.
I use Libre Office in German, because I write in German, English and French and
love the choice and quality of all the spellcheck versions and that there are
choices, like between US and UK English or Belgian and French French. But if
there could be a possibility to transfer my formatting in .odt into stupid
Microsoft (My favourite nickname being Microshit for all their products) files
would save me a lot of time and effort in my writing and publishing.

Also I still use Windows 7, as it gives me the opportunity to keep their
snooping out of my computer with a non Gates Firewall. I also use Firefox and
only DuckDuckGo and am working on de-Googling my smartphone and notebook, so,
really LibreOffice is my best choice, after having used Pagemaker four before,
but not being able to afford a new version of PageMaker and also not knowing,
If their conversion to .doc or .docx would be any better.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write an text over several pages with page breaks, Blocksatz formatting and
Überschriften im Format Überschrift 1
2. Save as .odt
3. Save again as .doc
compare the result

Actual Results:
page breaks are different as the Blocksatz and Texfluß options are turning out
different ly.

Expected Results:
What I see in my editing screen in .odt should be identical, when I open the
.doc file, but even if I edit the .doc file agi to get the proper formatting,
it still gets buggered and Amazon gets the formatting wrong.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
transferred the formatting correctly into a recognizable word equivalent.
