Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 24194
Word 97 compatibility - table problem
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
I have document that was created in MS Word 97 and does not open correctly in OOo. The single page consists of a table and when opened in OOo, there is only one row instead of two and it is now a two page document. I will attach a copy of the file with this report.

Reassigned to MRU
Cannot reproduce the problem with OOo 1.1. The table has two rows and the whole doc two pages. See attached screenshot taken under WinXP with Word XP and OO 1.1.0.

Curious. I have reopened the file and there are now 2 x rows. However, the document was created in Word97 and is only one page, but in OOo it is 2 pages. I will attach a screen shot, including the page settings.

It seems to be something special with Word 97. I digged out a version of it on one of our older machines and opened your file there. Initially the doc showed as one page, but when scrolling down, then there were two pages; Word XP showed two pages from the beginning. Odd... It looks like a problem of Word97, thus I close the issue.
