ludovicchabant Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Hi there -- I'm pretty sure these are bugs. Note that I'm using LibreOffice because I don't own Microsoft Office. Steps to reproduce: Make a document in LibreOffice using a couple of styles, like Header 1 and 2. Save the document as .docx (since that's the only format Publisher understands so far). Place the document in a Publisher project. First bug: see that the styles imported from the .docx file don't look OK: Heading 1 paragraphs have a bullet. Second bug: notice however that some of the hierarchy between styles is wrong. Heading 1 and 2 inherit from Heading 3, which isn't the case in LibreOffice (they're all siblings, inheriting from a base Heading style) Modify the Heading 1 style in Publisher, making it red or centered or whatever. Go back to LibreOffice. Add a new paragraph. Save to .docx again. Switch to Publisher again, and re-import that .docx. Third bug: notice that the style changes in Publisher are lost (Heading 1 isn't red/centered/etc. anymore). Fourth bug: now Heading 3 is by itself (no parent), and Heading 1 and 2 now inherit from Heading 4 for some obscure reason. These steps were specifically done with Publisher 1.7.3, and LibreOffice 6.3.3.2. The bugs happen pretty much the same under macOS and Windows. Thanks for any help.
