Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 72906
WW8: certain tables have wrong width after import
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:21:53 UTC
The import of some Word documents (with a lot of tables, in my case) fails. The test document originally has about 50 pages, but after opening it in OOo, it contains 347 pages because most of the tables are drwan very narrow and not in their intended size. A Word document which produces this behaviour can be found at http://www.datumsrechner.de/DATR.DOC
Confirming with m197 on WinXP - tables 4.5.4, 4.5.5 and others are very narrow and tall (as opposed to how Word renders them).
Changing summary from "Problems with import of certain Word documents"
MRU->HBRINKM: see attached document, e.g. on page 15. The left column of the table is much too narrow after import. There are some more tables of this kind in the document. Saving a new instance of the file with MS Word 2003 fixes the problem.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
