Tomdkat, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions verbatim at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about the status. Thanks in advance.

Word 2007 document test case

When viewing a Word 2007 or 2010 document with a page header in Writer 3.6.2 on Ubuntu 12.10 Linux (64-bit), the text "[TYPE TEXT]" appears in the page header on pages 2 and later of the document. When I do a "print preview" of the document, the "[TYPE TEXT]" text appears in the page header, so I presume it would also be printed. I have not tried printing a document like this yet.

I expect Writer to display the document the same way Microsoft Word displays the document and NOT display the "[TYPE TEXT]" text.

Hi Tom,

Works for me from 4.2.0

So even it is not informed here, it is solved for the releases in production.

[Tomdkat (tomdkat)]

Thanks for the reply. I experienced the problem using LibreOffice
Writer 4.2.3 on Windows XP. I can post a screen shot, if necessary.

Peace...

Tom

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
