WW8: export does not handle breaking table cells correctly in certain case
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:15:26 UTC
I have a document that is set up as a table with two columns. The first column has less than a page of text in it. The second column has enough text to fill two and a half pages. Both columns have inserted images among the text, though neither has any special formatting. When I save this document as a word (.doc) document (97/2000/XP), then open it again, I can only see the first page of the second column. The rest of the second column is there, but it does not display The same table is fine if I save the document as .odt and reopen it. Assuming I can figure out how, I will attach examples of both the .odt and .doc.
Created attachment 64677 [details] word .doc file that shows the display problem
Created attachment 64678 [details] open office format (.odt) that displays correctly
I can confirm within version DEV300m57
MRU->HBRINKM: see attached odt. Export this to WW8 format and reopen -> the right (breaking) table cell's content is now partly not visible. It looks that all the empty paragraphs in the left cell have been ignored on export. Ms Word will crash when you try to scroll in the exported doc.
