Issue 96545

I have a problem  reading a .doc document contain a large number of tables
produced by a system called SAGE.  The document opens successfully with writer
but most [not all] of the tables therein are displayed on screen or with page
preview with apparently entirely blank cells. The tables display correctly with
wordpad. I can also cut and paste into spreadsheet, table by table,but in a
document with 40 tables is , to say the least , tedious
.
When opened with writer the rows are very thin. If I select a table and increase
the row heights I can read the numbers in the cells. I also need to increase the
font size to 10 so that I can actually read the numbers. However I cannot, it
seems,  select the whole document, to increase cell height but must do it a
table at a time, which in a document with 40 tables is unacceptable. A similar
document, when I increase the font size with select all, [ there was some text
outside the tables,  so I could select all ] the visible content in some other
tables disappeared, others only displayed part of the characters as the row
height was insufficent for the characters.

I tried convert to text then convert to table . This would also be on a table by
table basis!  The text was then readable but the table then had columns of
unsuitable width and I did not seem able to correct this .

I can send you the problem file if you wish. I has been virus checked. How do I
send the file, which I have saved as .odt
