Hi,
I've been experimenting with file conversions and have found that, since
Word doesn't have page styles per se, that one can't save page styles in
a .doc format document. This means if you create a Writer document, use
page styles, and save it in .doc format, the page style and the
corresponding formatting go away when you close and re-open the file.
Given the dependency of OOo Writer on page styles to do anything at all
interesting with layout, this seems like a bit of a problem for those
wanting to stick with .doc format in order to work with those using MS
Office. No documents with different orientations on different pages, no
documents with different headers/footers, etc. are possible with this
issue. I've also noticed that, whether one is using page styles or not,
background graphics disappear under the same circumstances.
Is there a workaround, a plan in place to create page styles based on
the formatting in a .doc file, or is there something I'm missing?
Thanks,
Solveig
