Footer AutoFit height setting not saved correctly.

When saving an ODF Text document with the AutoFit height (for footer) unchecked, the document saves correctly and when re-opened, the AutoFit height is unchecked, as it should be.
When saving the same document as a Word document and re-opening it, the AutoFit height is now checked but I saved it with the AutoFit height unchecked.
It appears that saving an ODF Text document as a Word document does not save the correct state of the AutoFit height setting.
