[Issue 126053] New: Save to .doc adds break at first paragraph on second page when first page has "First Page" style.

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126053

          Issue ID: 126053
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Save to .doc adds break at first paragraph on second
                    page when first page has "First Page" style.
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.1.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: save-export
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: steve@millerhousehold.com

I have created a document in Writer that has three paragraphs in it. The first
and second begin on the first page. The second paragraph crosses into the
second page. The third paragraph begins on the second page. I then set the
insertion point on the first page and select "Format/Styles and Formatting"
from the main menu. I click "Page Styles" from the "Styles and Formatting"
dialog box, and then double-click "First Page," then close the "Styles and
Formatting" dialog box.

If I save and then re-open the document in ODF Text Document (.odt)(*.odt)
format, the third paragraph is where I originally put it, starting right after
the second paragraph on the second page.

If I then save the document in Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)(*.doc) format,
and reopen it, I can see that the third paragraph now starts on the third page,
and that the third paragraph has its Text Flow/Breaks/Insert checkbox and its
Text Flow/Breaks/With Page Style checkbox both checked, with "Page" Type,
"Before" Position, "Convert 1" Page Style, and a "0" Page Number. (Neither box
is checked in the .odf version of the document.)

Unchecking both checkboxes in the .doc version and saving the document as a
.doc again has no effect. Upon re-opening the document, the third paragraph
still starts on the third page, and both checkboxes are checked.

I am using this method to have a different header on the first page of my
multi-page document. If there is another way to do that, and it doesn't cause
problems when my document is saved in .doc format, that would be a good
workaround.

Save time for helpers and provide this sample document to reproduce.

Created attachment 84453
  --> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=84453&action=edit
.odt file acquires a page break in 3rd paragraph when saved as .doc file.

Open this file in Writer, then save it in Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP
(.doc)(*.doc) format. Reopen it, and it will have a page break assigned to the
third paragraph. Note that the first paragraph of the original file has "First
Page" page style, set in the "Styles and Formatting" dialog box. This is
necessary to reproduce the bug.
