<pre>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 (<a href="mailto:ds@davidsherman.ca">ds@davidsherman.ca</a>) 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.</pre>
