If instead you set the border on the paragraph within the header, rather than on the header itself, then this comes through fine into doc or docx format. The same feature mismatch applies to background fill colour which can be set on the header/footer in LibreOffice but not in Microsoft Word. To resolve this issue, perhaps we could try to convert these header/footer properties into paragraph properties (or table properties etc) automatically when saving to Microsoft Word formats. This could give the expected result in most common cases, though it would still fail in harder cases e.g. see how hard it is in Word to put a border around multiple paragraphs which include a bulleted list: <a href="https://word.tips.net/T012034_Borders_on_Multiple_Paragraphs_with_Differing_Indents.html">https://word.tips.net/T012034_Borders_on_Multiple_Paragraphs_with_Differing_Indents.html</a></pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
