Example file from Excel, simplified from attachment of bug #54757

Imported Chart axis labels in DOCX document created with Microsoft Word 2010 change to default when the document is opened in LibreOffice Writer 6.2.0.0.alpha1+.

Steps to reproduce:

    1. Open the attached DOCX file in LibreOffice Writer
    2. View the attached screenshot
    3. Notice that the chart axis labels changed to default

Actual results:
Chart axis labels change to default when the document is opened in LibreOffice Writer 6.2.0.0.alpha1+.

Expected results:
Chart axis should have the same values as the original file when the document is opened in Microsoft Word 2010

Confirm with 4.1 and Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha1+

This seems to stem from the same area as bug #80816 - MSO supports custom axis label ranges, but LO doesn't.

Looking further, these labels come from this tag in chart1.xml:

<c:numLit><c:formatCode>General</c:formatCode><c:ptCount val="5"/><c:pt idx="0"><c:v>2007</c:v></c:pt><c:pt idx="1"><c:v>2008</c:v></c:pt><c:pt idx="2"><c:v>2009</c:v></c:pt><c:pt idx="3"><c:v>2010</c:v></c:pt><c:pt idx="4"><c:v>2011</c:v></c:pt></c:numLit>

In other words Excel allows a list of string literals to be entered as custom axis labels, while LO allows only a range in Data Ranges dialog - Data Series tab - Categories list.

Selecting a range in Excel instead of the above, saving and opening works fine in Calc master.
