Created attachment 132116 [details] MSO Word 2013 file with table (spacing to content 0.3 cm) When opening an MS Office Word file, the tables in this document have a minus left spacing. This numeric value is the same as the table spacing to content. I assume that the left beginning of the table content is for LibO the same as the left beginning of page content. But for MSO the table begins at page borders, not where the table content begins. Steps to reproduce: - Open the attached file with LibO (or create a new Word file, insert a table, save it and open it with LibO). - Click into the table. - Open the table properties dialog with Table > Properties... Actual result: Spacing "Left" (tab: Table) has the same value (in its negative form) as the Spacing to Contents "Left" value (tab: Borders). You can test it if you change the content spacing in MSO to another value and then opening it in LibO -> same result with new value. Expected result: Like in MSO, the table borders should begin where the page content begins. Spacing "Left" (tab: Table) should be "0 cm". Tested with MSO 2013, LibO 5.3.1.2 Build ID: e80a0e0fd1875e1696614d24c32df0f95f03deb2 CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Windows 6.2; UI Render: default; Layout Engine: new; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: CL and LibO 5.3.1.2

Created attachment 132343 [details] ooxml export unit test Open the attachment in Word 2013+ please. If you change cell margin at the table, the border will be shifted. But if you save the document again this will stop working - if you try to change cell margin, cell padding will be changed instead of margin.

This renders the same in all versions of Word. I see 2 ways to solve the problem: 1. Change behavior as in Word 2013+. But all newer documents saved as docx will become incompatible with older versions of Word. 2. Another option is to try to detect version of software that generated document. That will allow to see document as author intended. But this will however lead to users of older Words see different results with newer documents, and newer Word will show older documents differently, too.
Stuart, what do you think about the suggestions?
Thank you, Vitaliy, for your investigation. I would prefer option 1 and would handle it like Word 2013+ because new documents saved in Word 2013+ as docx are incompatible with older versions of Word too. This would be the cleaner and forward-looking implementation. It's also easier to explain that behavior to LibO users because it's how new Word versions works too.

I tested the attached example documents in this bug and it seems to be fixed. I will test it on Windows soon. @Vitaliy: Still working on it or finished?

I can confirm as well that normal tables are now better positioned.
Thomas, I've finished working on this. Please test the patch. If it's ok, close this bug :)
