Sample for row break setting

- Open the attached DOC.
- Right click in table, open Table Properties...
- On Text Flow tab take a look at setting "Allow row to break across pages and columns".

=> The tristate checkbox is in indeterminate state, meaning there are rows where the setting is enabled and where it's disabled (if you open the dialog after just clicking in a cell, the settings for the whole table are shown).
In Word the setting is enabled for the whole table.

In LO if you select a cell/row in the rows where cells are merged (rows 1-2), the setting is disabled instead of being enabled.
If you select a cell in the 3rd row, the setting is enabled as expected.

This only affects DOC files, DOCX format is imported fine.

Observed with LO 5.3.2.2 & 4.0.0.3 / Windows 7.

Another sample that displays differently in Word and Writer

Added a bunch of lines in the sample to make it display differently in the two programs.

A note here, the setting "Allow row to break across pages and columns" is enabled by default in tables both in Writer and Word.

Apparently this is a regression since 4.3.
There was the following commit that eliminated the use of the obsolete sprmTFCantSplit90 property, but since the IDs were, and remained mixed up, it resulted in a regression:

"Ignore sprmTFCantSplit90 in .doc file per MS spec"

Fix with unit test is now in gerrit.
