Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 6312
Word table row height incorrect when opened in Writer
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:35:51 UTC
Opening an existing Word 97 document containing a table in Writer has an issue. The row height does not take into account the style in the cell, so that if the style has Bottom Spacing, one would expect to see the appropriate amount of white space. However, in a Word table, this does not occur, and no white space shows. Creating a table in Writer using the same style displays the expected behaviour. I have looked to determine if there is a way to reset this to the expected, but I have been unable to do so. I use tables regularly in Word and need OOo to be consistent, so that Word documents can be shared between both applications.
Please attach a document showing this. Reassigned to Michael.

This hasn't been implemented yet (refer to the filter lists), because there hasn't been a clear concept about how to convert this in a suitable way. Writer and Word work a bit different in this point. Word saves the spacing to the cell content as table- AND as cell-attribute; Writer only as cell-attribute. And in the attached sample file, the cell attribute takes the table's attrbute, which won't be possible in Writer at the moment.
Unfortunately, when exporting to Word, Writer doesn't save cell spacing even as cell attribute. Or maybe it does, and the reason why I can't see it in Word is that Word can't find the appropriate TABLE attribute?
Reassiged to Bettina.
