------- Additional comments from anoops...@openoffice.org Sun Dec 27 01:40:20 +0000 2009 ------- Tables with 13 or more columns become corrupted when the document is saved in Microsoft Word 97/200/2003 format (*.doc). The corruption is only apparent when opening the document in Microsoft Word (I have tested it with Microsoft Word 97 and Microsoft Word Viewer 2003 running on WINE, and Microsoft Word 2000 running natively on Windows XP). It causes Microsoft Word to crash. The corruption is NOT apparent when opening the Word document in OpenOffice; in fact it behaves like a normal document and can be edited freely. Merging two columns to reduce the total number of columns from 13 to 12 removes the corruption, and allows the document to be opened normally in Microsoft Word. This problem occurs with both the Windows and Linux versions of OpenOffice. Steps to reproduce the error: 1. Create a new Writer document 2. Insert a table with 13 columns and any number of rows 3. Save it in Word format and close Writer 4. Open the document in Microsoft Word Viewer 2003 (or another version of Word) - IT WILL CRASH OR SAY THE DOCUMENT IS CORRUPT 5. Re-open the document in Writer - IT WILL OPEN NORMALLY 6. Merge two columns to reduce the total number of columns to 12 7. Re-save it in Word format 8. Re-open it in Word - IT WILL OPEN NORMALLY --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
