------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jun 26 01:47:33 +0000 2008 ------- Please consider the follow “enhancement”. It would be capital to get it into Version 3. This problem has been reported before. Please reference the following “Won't Fix” issues: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=82856 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=90464 Background: the only really useful way to export documents from Open Office (OO) to other formats is through Word (97/2000/2003). OO is sadly missing exporters such as Word Pro and Word Perfect. Okay we can work with this, which is probably why we have so few usable exporters. Problem: when we export tables to Word and they are on top of each other, Word changes the tables to merged tables. This is a “quirk” of Word. This also does not match the expected behavior of the original document, which is that they are separate tables. Why would we want 12 pitch black Time New Roman to be converted to 10 pitch blue Tahoma because it is a “Quirk”? Why then when would you want two separate tables to be merged? The converted output document should match as closely as possible to the original documents behavior. If you send the converter a merged table from OO, then convert it to a merged table; if you send it two separate tables, then convert it to two separate tables. (This required the programmer to insert a line between the two tables, then convert the line's attribute to “hidden” before doing the export.) This would solve a lot of difficulties for those of us that have to use the Word converter to get to other formats. I appreciate your consideration in this matter.
