            Bug ID: 144892
           Summary: new-page blank space put in many pages when converting
                    from Word 4 on Mac
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.1.2 release
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ds at davidsherman.ca

Description:
I write my files using Word 4.00E (Word 4) for the Mac, released around 1987. I
use LibreOffce only to convert them to .docx format, since the latest version
of MS Word no longer supports converting from Word 4 and 5. I then save the
file and open it with Word. Consistently somewhere near or after the end of
each page, LibreOffice has inserted a character that breaks for a new page. But
from Word I can't copy and search/replace this character. All I can do it go
through my file page by page and delete each special char that is causing a
page break. This happens every time, with every file I convert.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a file in Word 4.0 (I can send you a sample).
2. Open it with LibreOffice and save it as a .docx Word file
3. Open it with any recent version of Word

Actual Results:
I (ds at davidsherman.ca) can email you a sample file to convert.

Expected Results:
I get the converted file but the page break characters are in there, almost
every page. It's before or after the end of the page.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Not included these weird page-break characters that I can't even search for.
