--- Comment #4 from Justin L <jluth at mail.com> ---
repro 7.3+.
Used bibisect-linux-43all to confirm the same is true already in LO 3.5, so
likely inherited from OOo.
Used Word 2003 to confirm this is a FILESAVE issue - since Word also imports
the last page in column mode.

None of this is really surprising, since LO and Word handle sections completely
differently.

Saving as DOCX format emphasizes the difference (probably because DOCX handles
continuous sections differently from DOC to allow flexibility in desired
results).

There are several ways to do this differently that I noticed. One is to not
insert a section, but just simply insert the desired columns directly.

The other way is to change the regular page break to a "section page break" by
also setting the page style to "Default Page Style".

I suppose there could be some logic on export to emulate this a bit better, but
this is a very tricky area. Setting to NEW since all the similar bug reports I
can remember are related to import instead of export.
