Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 83465
One page Word document in Writer is two pages due to larger empty paragraphs
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
When Viewing the Word document (version 97-2003) in Microsoft Word and Word Viewer, it is one page. When the document is viewed in OpenOffice writer, the document is two pages and the last sentence is on the top of the second page. Note: The default printer can effect this. When my default printer is, say the Windows Fax printer, it shows correctly, however when I have any other printer set as my default printer, for example we use a Lexmark T630, the problem occurs as described. I will attach an example of the document we have this issue with. Thank you.

MRU->FME: there are some empty paragraphs in the document which seem to have a higher spacing in Writer. When filling these paragraphs in Word with characters, you can see that these paragraphs will grow to normal font height. Looks that OOo Writer needs some kind of compatibility mode for this.
