--- Comment #3 from Justin L <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 198639 --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=198639&action=edit Page number format5.docx: made with Word 2010 - starts on page 5 (5cm left margin) So, IIUC the DOCX version ONLY works because we (currently) force it to use alternating LEFT-only and RIGHT-only LO-specific page styles - which is a huge emulation hack. (And because the document starts with LEFT-only even page, a blank odd page 1 is seen in book view) On the DOC import side, we don't do any of those things. And I don't think we want to try to go in that direction - since LO can also support "different Left/Right header content". So DOC import has properly imported "mirrored margins" and the proper "inner" and "outer" margins. Rather, the key here seems to be with even/odd view in book layout mode. Since our document starts on page 2, LO OUGHT to be forcing a blank page 1 (in book view) and thus treat the first page 2 as an EVEN page (which would then receive the mirrored margins). [But I imagine that would reek havoc for ODT documents.] If my analysis is correct, this is just a fundamental difference between Word and LO layout. LO doesn't REALLY worry about making sure that even page numbers are always on the LEFT side, or that odd page numbers are always on the RIGHT side. However, it appears that MS Word does. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
