test docx file

During my daily work, I recieve many DOCX documents created by MSO. For most of these document, when I edit them with LibreOffice, when open again in MSO 2010 the fonts are changed.

Because the original file people send to me are not for public, I made the attached test file by deleting the original text and replaced with the test text.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached test file with Microsoft Office 2010, observe that the font is Times New Roman.
2. Open the test file with LibreOffice, ovserve that the font is also displayed as Times New Roman.
3. Hit an ENTER in the test file to make it modified, then save as "Times-libreoffice.docx".
4. Reopen the resaved file with MSO 2010. Observe that the font has changed to "Calibri (Western Body Text), and the font sizes becomes smaller.
5. Ropen the resaved file with LibreOffice, the font remains Times un-changed.

Expected Result:
Font family and size do not change at step 4.

This is really annoying, as it makes me impossible to interoperate with other people who uses MSO 2010.

Comment 3 Kevin Suo 2014-07-07 03:08:38 UTC 
Another easy steps to reproduce:
1. New Writer, type in some text;
2. Set the "Default Style": Western fonts to "Times New Roman 16pt".
3. Save as DOCX, then reopen with MSO 2010.

Currenty behaviour:
Font changed to Calibri 10.5 pt.

Hey Suo,

I opened Times-libreoffice.docx in office 2007 SP3, 2010 SP2 and 2013 SP1 and they all showed fine as Times New Roman.
Comment 7 Kevin Suo 2014-07-07 06:45:01 UTC 
@Jay Philips,
I installed the Office 2010 Service Pack 2, so now my MSO version is 14.0.7015.1000.

Unfortunately, when open attachment 102339 [details] the font is still Calibri 10pt.
Comment 8 Jay Philips 2014-07-07 06:53:44 UTC 
Hey Suo,

Well maybe this is a Windows XP only glitch, but in attachment 102340 [details], i see Times New Roman in the font drop down.

Yes it worth mentioning. 
In MSO font shows Times New Roman in the drop down when I put cousor within a paragraph which has no content.
But when I put cousor within the paragraph with text, it shows Calibri.

See the new screenshot.

Comment 13 Jay Philips 2014-07-07 07:15:52 UTC 
Dominik mentioned that times new roman should be easily distinguishable from calibri and from attachment 102340 [details], i can see that its not times new roman. :)

Attachment 102339 [details] open with MSO 2013

Someone in our Chinese QQ Chatroom can also confirm this with MSO 2013.
So this is not a MSO-2010-only issue.

I have been able to confirm this bug on Microsoft Word 2013 (15.0.4623.1000) x64 zh-CN provided with my Office 365 subscription.

Note: Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0 with JRE 8u5 enabled will behave exactly the same as LibreOffice 4.3.0.1

I do not reproduce with: 4.0.3 release.
The first version I can reproduce: 4.1.0.2 rc.

It's a regression. Revised Version accordingly.

A test file with more style properties (underline, bold, italic...)

It's even worse...
All "style" properties for the text are lost when reopen with MSO. (Direct formating are retained)
It's related to the MSO "style" and LibreOffice "style".

Steps:
Edit and resave this attached docx file with LibreOffice, 
Then reopen with MSO 2010 or 2013.

All style properties are lost, only the text are retaied and fall back to MSO default.
