Description wdonne 2009-08-21 08:43:51 UTC 
Saving the attached document as Word 97 causes the load in Word 2007 to loop and generate an 
enormous amount of pages.

The actual Writer version I used was 000310m11 build 9399.

I have discovered that the section elements cause the problem. After removing them the document opens 
in Word 2007.

MRU->HBRINKM: there is a multi-page table cell which itself contains some nested
tables and a lot of sections. The document exported correctly in OOo 3.0.
Since 3.0.1 there seems to be a problem with the inner tables and the sections.
It looks that every section creates a page break.
Additionally since OOo 3.1 the outer table cell becomes extremely narrow.
Comment 4 openoffice 2011-03-22 14:37:22 UTC 
Analysis: The document t.odt has only one table cell which contains page breaks. The page breaks are introduced by paragraph with style "Heading 2". "Heading 2" is set to insert a page break before the paragraph it is applied to. Word does not allow page breaks inside table cells.
Comment 5 openoffice 2011-03-29 07:56:14 UTC 
Analysis: MSWordExportBase::NoPageBreakSection checks for bIsInTable and only outputs a SectionNode if it not in a table by bIsInTable. Nevertheless section breaks are output inside tables.
