<pre>Description:
I work in LibreOffice Writer at home and used never to have a problem saving
docs as .docx and opening them at work in MS Office. Now they won't open and
the doc appears in folders as having no extension, even when I put one in again
manually. Pages can't read them either, though it will accept manually added
extensions.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.click 'save as' in a writer document
2.select .docx
3.close document
4.open document in MS=Word
5. MS-Word says it can't open extensionless files.
6. Manually add .docx to document name.
7. Click to open, but doesn't work.
Actual Results:
Document didn't open
Expected Results:
Document should have opened in MS-Word as a Word document.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Pages can open the document as a Pages document if I manually add the .docx
extension.
