Description marcw53 2003-05-16 14:14:56 UTC
I'm using 1.1 beta on Linux.  I wrote a fairly simple document in the word
processor that included a full width, 2 column table.  It views and saves in
.sxw just fine.  I also saved it to Word97 format and Word95 format.

I've got two MS methods of viewing Word documents created in OOo, the free MS
Word viewer and Word 2000 on running on 2000Pro.  Both .doc files view correctly
on the free MS viewer.  But only the Word95 document views correctly on Word
2000.  When viewing the Word97 document (created in OOo)on Word 2000, the
vertical height of each table cell is at least twice the size I specified making
the document about twice as long as it should be.

Some more testing reveals that if I change the Table Format "spacing
to contents" from the default .04" to 0" and if my tables are created
with no header, THEN I can save my document as a Word97 doc and have
it view correctly in MS Word 2000.  The table sizing (cell height) is
still a little different from .doc to .sxw but all in all not a bad
conversion.  I just probably shouldn't have to jump through the above
hoops to get it looking acceptable.

Please upgrade to 1.1rc3 and attach a sample document if this does not
resolve your issue.  

Thanks,

This is still a problem with 1.1RC3.  It is duplicated in issue 15342
which has an attached sample document.
