Description bdk 2010-04-29 18:21:30 UTC 
Open Office Writer document consisting of a few tables and some text does not
save the tables correctly in MS office format. The text portion is converted OK
but the table formatting is messed up in some areas. The table has several
similar areas but only some of the cells are mis-formatted when Open Office
reloads the .doc version. Some cells are missing and others are merged. Saving
in ODT format works OK. 

A similar document created in V2 of OOffice worked OK.

How do I submit the file?

- How to attach a file: click on the "Create a new attachment" link on the
current page.

But before you go further:
- Check this in a current version (3.2). 310 is too old.
- Make sure you are using our version and not the one of your Linux distro.

The version of Open Office Writer is the one that comes with Fedora 12 with
updates. Big job to get away from that process.

@MRU: Tested in 3.2 on Vista.
Focus on the cells below "4th Quarter" and the small cells containing 62 to 100.
The cells get merged on export.

It should not be a duplicate of issue 103374 which has been fixed in 3.2.

MRU->HBRINKM: export attached odt to WW8 format and reopen -> the cells below
"4th Quarter" are erroneously merged. This leads to the fact that the content
will also placed in wrong cells.
Additionally the font in the row "101, 102, 103..." is exported as 8pt font
instead of 6pt - this might be a f'up issue.

Maybe this is related to issue 104017 which sound similar.

This problem persists in Version 3.2
