Description andrew_w_oxford 2007-06-22 15:43:29 UTC 
I open the attached document (.doc) file and complete the first page. I save the
document. I then open the document and the text I typed-in, and some of the
prior text, is gone!

How do I attach the document in question?

Comment 2 mbayer 2007-06-24 14:53:36 UTC 
Can reproduce with OOo2.2.1 B 9161 Linux i86 RPM de_DE.

It is sufficient to open the attached document and to save it again, without
making any changes to it (i.e. File -> Open; File -> Save as -> .doc).

"screen_original_wv" is a screenshot of the original document seen in the MS
Word Viewer.
"screen_ooo_wv" is a screenshot of the document saved without any changes 1 time
in OOo Writer as .doc, seen in the MS Word Viewer.

It seems as if the document contains nested tables, maybe this causes some of
the problems?

Confirming issue and leaving its prio to 2 as this might lead to data loss.

mbayer->andrew_w_oxford: Please consider to
- upgrade to latest stable release of OOo, 2.0.4 is not up-to-date
- demand forms in platform-independent file formats such as ODT or PDF from FoE
- print a hard-copy of the document with the MS Word Viewer (works under Wine).

MRU->HBRINKM: when (re-)exporting the attached doc to WW8 format, most of the
content in the tables will be lost when reopening the document.

usability. we need to prevent data lost
Comment 8 openoffice 2008-01-11 10:37:20 UTC 
The loss of data is caused by the nested tables, indeed.

I tried to understand, how we export tables to WW8. I do not find any support
for nested tables. It seems, to fix this issue we need a major redesign of the
WW8 export.
