Dear Libreoffice users and developers!
I've got problem using latest libreoffice and saving as doc. Here is the
document. It has 2 collumns, if I make the text fitting 2 collumns on 1 page,
save as doc and reopen document it will reapear as only 1 column on page and
the other column is empty. I hope the issue will be fixed.
With best regard,
Victor.

Two things. First, the mailing list does not allow attachments. Second, the best way to reach the developers is through their list at http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice and though the bug tracker at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ . There maybe a warning from your browser about the site not being trusted but it is because the cert used is not recognized but most browsers.

I have Libre 3.3 on an iMac 10.6.5 and I can not reproduce the fault with an
8 page document.

I was within document I've attached (I was told the attachments are not
working). Now I've reproduced this from empty document. My system is Arch
current with LO 3.3 rc1 from arch repo.
Here are the steps:
1. Create empty document
2. Make page orientation album with 2 columns and margins 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0
cm (up, down, left, right)
3. Create table 2*2 and move it to the bottom of the column using enters.
4. Copy first column with ctrl+c
5. Paste to the second column.
6. Save as doc
7. Open the file.
8. Mark first collumn on the page and copy it with Ctrl+C
9. Mark the second column on the page and press ctrl+v
10. Save document and close it
11. Open it.

This reproduces in 100% on my system.
With best regards, Victor

I tried this on my Ubuntu 10.10 desktop, although I'm not sure what
"album" orientation is and I used the standard margins (English -
0.79" all around) and it worked just fine.

Hi,

I tried your link with LibreOffice 3.3 RC1 in WindowsXP and did not see
any problems.

When I open your document, it appears to be in landscape mode with a
table at the bottom of the first column on page one, and an exact
duplicate for page 2. There is nothing in column 2 - literally - I
can't position the cursor in column 2 at all.

In experimenting with the document, it appears as though the second
column is not populated at all. When I go down from the bottom of
column 1, it goes directly to the next page. If I delete a line or
two above the table on page one, the page break does not move.

I went back and retraced your steps exactly - create a document with
your parameters (landscape, 0.39" margins all around, 2 columns), put
a 2x2 table in column 1, position it to the bottom with carriage
returns, select that column and copy it to column 2. Save as MS Word
97-2000 .doc, re-open, select column 1, copy to column 2, save again,
reopen.

I get the same results as you.

You can't position on column 2 because there is a section break after the first table on column 1. Because that the cursor jump directly to page 2, it's normal. If you drop section break, second table go to column 2.
The question could be: why there is a section break? :slight_smile:
