Hi!

 First, open the issue attachment RTF file. Then, run this code in Basic:

  Sub ManTable()
      oTable = ThisComponent.TextTables(0)
      For i = 0 to oTable.getRows.getCount() - 1 
          For n = 0 to oTable.getColumns.getCount() - 1 
              oCell = oTable.getCellByPosition(n,i)
              MsgBox "Cell: " & oCell.String & "   Rowspan:" & oCell.Rowspan
          Next n    
      Next i         
  end sub

 The rowspan property of the B2 cell shows 1, instead 2. If you save this RTF
file in ODT format and re-execute the code, the rowspan continues showing 1.

 However, in other cases like:
 - if you create an ODT file with the same table struct or;
 - if you open a DOC file with the same table struct;
 the rowspan property shows 2. 

 This problem is an RTF import error or a RTF file limitation?

 Thanks!

Sample .rtf file that contains a rowspan.  Rowspan does not appear when opened.

In the document, under the letters A, J and R the cells should be merged together.  When swriter displays the document what should be merged is displayed as regular empty non-merged cells.

Using version 4.1.1 on Windows 7 Pro
