Description Sakshi Singh 2018-04-04 05:14:03 UTC
Description:
Hi,

A word document consisting of tables with merged cells when converted to a HTML document through LibreOffice 6 version.

The Word file clearly shows where the lines need to be for the appropriate data to be read correctly from the table. When rendered as HTML, unfortunately, displays the ways in which the column lines are shifted and skewed incorrectly.

Screenshots are attached here within.

Thanks and Regards
Sakshi Singh


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take a Word document having merged cells in a table
2. Open the file in LibreOffice
3. Convert the file to HTML using Save as option

Actual Results:  
The column lines are shifted and skewed incorrectly in the resultant file

Expected Results:
The table with merged cells in the document should come same after the conversion


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

I'm not seeing any problem.

I did notice a newer regression in 6.1, disappearing cell borders, but I have to report it as a new bug.

I mentioned the version in my comment, 6.0.2.

I wonder, if you are confused with how the table changes width based on the browser width? Yet, that is not "shifting" or "skewing". It is just scaling dynamically. Maybe you want a fixed width, though?
Comment 10 Sakshi Singh 2018-04-05 13:03:36 UTC
hi

The merged cells of the table in the document are not coming as expected or as in original form.
The images which I have attached earlier is showing the issue with the merged cells in the table.

Kindly refer that.

Thanks
Sakshi
Comment 11 Buovjaga 2018-04-05 13:10:05 UTC
Well I definitely am not seeing any "Basaglar" or "Lantus" in my version (as you can see). Are you specifically meaning: T2DM is above three columns although it should be above two?
Comment 12 Sakshi Singh 2018-04-06 10:18:28 UTC
hi

The issue with the table is that we can view in the document that T1DM column is consisting of two merged cells columns:
PQR (n=257) and ABC (n=258) 
 

The T2DM column is consisting of two merged cells columns:
DEF (n=309) and GHI (n=310) 
 
but after conversion the T1DM is having only PQR(n=257) and T2DM is having rest three columns in it ABC (n=258), DEF (n=309) and GHI (n=310).

This is changing the whole meaning of the data.

Thanks

Ok, let me know how it goes with a newer version.
Comment 14 Sakshi Singh 2018-04-06 11:00:33 UTC
hi

The issue still exist for the version 6.0

Thanks

Working fine for me on Windows as well.

You could try launching in Safe mode from the start menu or Help - Restart in safe mode and then Continue in safe mode.

If it still doesn't work, for your personal workaround you can try File - Export - XHTML.
