Description freemant 2009-07-07 02:42:38 UTC 
This is similar to issue 101472 but it exists in OOo 3.1.

Steps:
1) Create a new Text document in Writer.
2) Create a table with 13 columns and 1 row.
3) Save the file as a word 97 .doc file.
4) Try to open the .doc file in word viewer 2003, it will say the table is
corrupt and can't display it properly.

Comment 3 michael.ruess 2009-07-07 13:29:43 UTC 
MRU->HBRINKM: odd thing. Having a 13-columns table and exporting into WW8
format, WW will not be able to display the table correctly anymore, Was OK in
OOo 3.0.
12 columns will be OK, BTW...
Comment 4 chemtech 2009-07-28 05:10:28 UTC 
This issue is still present in OOo-Dev_DEV300_m53_Win32Intel version.
Comment 5 openoffice 2009-07-28 08:46:57 UTC 
added WW8 prefix to summary
Comment 6 pflin 2009-09-01 10:20:46 UTC 
pflin -> hbrinkm, 

I have a look at this issue, it seems the paragraph style of the table(
especially for the table paragraph mark in the end of the line ) refers to a
wrong style id. 

In the attached experimental patch, I set the style id as 0x00, this issue
doesn't happen. But I don't think this patch is inaccurate to fix. 

hbrinkm, Any good idea for this issue?

Comment 9 openoffice 2009-10-29 18:29:48 UTC 
Further investigation reveals that indeed the relevant difference between current output of OOo and the 
output of Word 2007 is the written style id. OOo writes the id taken from m_rWW8Export.nStyleBeforeFly, 
Word 2007 writes 0.

However I have to look into the history to find out why OOo refers to nStyleBeforeFly.
