Description jd10008 2003-08-17 00:02:42 UTC

This should be of highest priority, but not 
sure if P1 is highest.
While editing an existing MS word document, and one adds
more text to the document such that current page text which
is at bottom line of page should be forced to move down to
next page, does not get pushed down.
What happens is the texts that is pushed beyond current page,
disappears altogether. And if one tries to scroll down, 
openoffice plays beeps. The next page shows empty.

Tested in linux (Lycoris).  No such problem using an emailed MD Word doc.

This sounds like a Word doc in which the text is inside a table. OOo
currently can't display table cells spanning more than one page.
Reporter, could you either confirm this or attach an offending document? 

If my diagnosis is correct, this bug should be marked as a duplicate
of issue 2109, which is slated to be fixed in OOo 2.0.

Snipped from similar issue 17730:

     Workaround for Your Word document: open it in Word and use
     menu 'Table - Convert - Table to text...' and save it. 
     This changed Word document will be layouted very well 
     in OpenOffice.

Added oooqa keyword.  Awaiting further information from reporter.

Comment 5 bulbul 2003-08-20 01:02:17 UTC

The reporter contacted me personally and confirmed that this is a
table problem. For some reason he was not able to edit this bug even
though he was logged in. Please mark this as a duplicate of issue 2109.
