Unmodified file created by LibreOffice
This bug is also present in 6.4.7.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new file with a footnote.
2. Add a cross-reference to the footnote: first its page number, then the
footnote's number.
3. Save to DOCX.
4. Close and reopen.
Result: The reference to the footnote's number disappeared.
I investigated a little the DOCX archive. Here is the culprit in
word/document.xml:
<w:bookmarkStart w:id="0" w:name="_RefF0"/>
<w:bookmarkStart w:id="1" w:name="_RefF0"/>
<w:bookmarkEnd w:id="1"/>
<w:r>
<w:rPr>
<w:rStyle w:val="Ancredenotedebasdepage"/>
</w:rPr>
<w:footnoteReference w:id="2"/>
</w:r>
There is no <w:bookmarkEnd w:id="0"/> in any file in the archive and both
bookmarks have the same name. I suppose that we should have something like this
instead:
<w:bookmarkStart w:id="1" w:name="fnRef"/>
<w:r>
<w:rPr>
<w:rStyle w:val="Ancredenotedebasdepage"/>
</w:rPr>
<w:footnoteReference w:id="2"/>
</w:r>
<w:bookmarkEnd w:id="1"/>
where the bookmark elements with w:id="0" would be placed in word/footnotes.xml
(at least it is what I observed in a document produced by Word 2010).
Additionally, the footnote reference is called by:
<w:instrText> REF _RefF0 \h </w:instrText>
We should have (provided that we changed the w:name attribute):
<w:instrText> NOTEREF fnRef \h </w:instrText>
These are only hints, and I may be mistaken at some points. I produced a
modified version of the file with the fixes mentioned above. When I open it in
Word 2010, it complains that it is corrupt, but if I force opening, it
basically works. References are here and can be updated correctly if I modify
the file.</pre>
