Description: Given a .docx file with a multi-page table configured to have the header row repeat on every page, the table isn't rendered correctly when importing to LibreOffice and converting to PDF. This can be fixed manually in Libre by stepping over the table and going to 'Table -> Properties... and unchecking the "Repeat heading" option. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a .docx file with a multi-page table with LibreOffice. 2.Observe that the table isn't rendered correctly. 3. Actual Results: The table isn't rendered like the original .docx file in Word. Expected Results: The table should be rendered exactly like the original .docx file in Word.

Created attachment 167044 [details] DOCX with multi-page table
I tried this by converting the document to a .doc (Word 97-2004) format and the tables render correctly in the document.

Created attachment 167135 [details] DOCX resaved in MSO without "repeat as header row" I confirm the bug with LO 7.1+. 5 pages table opens on a single page. Seems inherited from OO. I attach DOCX resaved in MSO without "repeat as header row" (and without some irrelevant text). It opens OK in LO after ace6bbf3da9ae27aca87865b6be887a3aed341fc from bug 64264.
Dear Andrew Moore, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

repro 7.6+. This is not a floating table.
Reproduced with: Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 6084962f93efc005b6827edceae12d3170f17ccd CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded For some reason, the table is imported with Repeat header set to 6 rows. If one changes the value to 1 row, saves and reloads, the table is displayed properly. The original file opened in MS 365 web doesn't repeat the heading, even in PDF export. Could someone provide a screenshot of expected look and the "Repeat as header row at the top of each page" setting in MS 365 desktop?
repro 26.8+. From sw/source/writerfilter/dmapper/DomainMapperTableManager.cxx: FIXME: DOCX tables with more than 10 repeating header lines imported without repeating header lines to mimic an MSO workaround for its usability bug. Explanation: it's very hard to set and modify repeating header rows in Word, often resulting tables with a special workaround: setting all table rows as repeating header, because exceeding the pages by "unlimited" header rows turns off the table headers automatically in MSO. 10-row limit is a reasonable temporary limit to handle DOCX tables with "unlimited" repeating header, till the same "turn off exceeding header" feature is ready (see tdf#88496).
