extra lines spaces when exporting to .doc

Hi,

I'm having a recurring problem with extra line spaces being inserted when I export to .doc. This happens between paragraphs, often in the footer where the page number is, and most frustratingly in the endnotes — each endnote is placed one or two lines down from the number and I have to manually move them back into place and apply the endnote style again. This is all within LO, I have not opened the files in MS Office.

Is this a known issue? If so is there a workaround that will save time.

I'm using LO 4.0 on Kubuntu 12.04.

Many thanks, this list is invaluable.
