Example file from Word 2016

Attached Word-made document has a table in the first page header, which is also set to have negative top page margin.

The table has a negative 1 cm indent. Since the table is in a negative top page margin section, it is placed inside a text frame, since bug 119952 was fixed.

However, the text frame does not take into account the tables negative indent, but the table inside does. This makes the left column of the table hidden under the left edge of the frame.

2, Notice the first three row of the table text show 1, 2, 3 instead of 111111, 222222, 333333

To make this match the layout better, the horizontal position of the frame should be "From Left" instead of "Left" and the "by" value should be the tables left indent, while the tables left indent should be 0.
In Word, the negative indent of the table moves the table towards the left of the page, into the left margin.

Of course this would be only a workaround, until the negative page margin feature is properly implemented - see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119952#c2

Repro with

The first column is indeed too narrow and it's not possible to see the entire text in the column. Some of it is hidden to the left.

Changing the frame position as described fixes the issue in this case, however it moves the entire table to the left.
