[Bug 123399] New: When opening a saved label with UNequal width and pitch, they reload with EQUAL width & pitch

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123399

            Bug ID: 123399
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: When opening a saved label with UNequal width and
                    pitch, they reload with EQUAL width & pitch
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.0.1
          Hardware: Mac
                OS: Mac OSX, 10.8
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: open-import
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: gdejo@sbcglobal.net
                CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org

File created with Writer labels with pitch>width, but after saving pitch=width

This is related to the label pitch problem on file (58925), but is different. 
When one creates a label with a pitch that is greater than the label width
(e.g. for an Avery 5160 label that has a 1/8" horizontal gap between label
columns) the label is accurately copied to all the labels and laid out to fit
on the labels.  But when that label sheet is saved and later reloaded, it comes
back WITHOUT the gap between columns of labels, and the extra space transferred
to the right border.  That is, the pitch has been reduced to the width
dimension.  The only work-around is to copy the label text and re-create a new
label document on the label template using the text copied from the saved label
sheet.  This works, but is tedious and the labels cannot be emailed to another
user and print correctly.

The label feature is very useful, but I think it could be improved if editing
tools were added so that you could change alignment, font size, bold, italic
etc BEFORE creating the document with the text duplicated 30 times, so that
each one has to be edited.

[Bug 123399] Pitch information for Labels document lost when saved as MSO97.doc

Sample saved from OOo 1.1.5 looks fine

I saved my attachment "Simple Sample" from OOo 1.1.5, and the result looks fine
in MS WORD Viewer and AOO 4. So it looks as if really a OOo problem. I already
observe the bug with "Simple Sample" saved from OOo 2.0.3, so this one is a
very old regression.

I think Edwin is right, it's a filesave problem, see comments following soon!
If it's a bug, it's an old one, I already see the pitch loss with OOo 3.1.1
(more early not yet tested).

@all:
Do we know whether MS OFFICE does support pitch information? If not, the
observed behavior might be not a bug, but necessary adaption to WORD format?
It would be great if a user with WORD on his PC could explain.

@Edwin:
Bug 123418 Comment 4 ;-)

Is this a filesave (due to Edwin's results) or a fileopen (due to report) bug?

It would be fine to have a step by step instruction here, I will try to
contribute

I also observe the problem with LibO 3.5.7.2 on Ubuntu Linux (VirtualBox), so
OS=ALL seems appropriate.

Still Reproducible with  Simple Sample and  "AOO 4.1.0-Dev – English  UI /
German locale - [AOO410m1(Build:9750)  -  Rev. 1525917 - 2013-09-25]" on German
WIN7 Home
Premium (64bit)", own separate user profile, but because of incomplete LCo
selector (Bug Bug 123063) no correct information can be left.
