Created attachment 42876 [details] MS Word docx with a wide table I have a Word docx created with MS Office 2007, landscape, legal paper size. I'm using latest version of LO. When I open the file with either Libre Office or Open Office the table columns lose all width information. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, 64-bit. To me this is a show-stopper from getting folks to use LO. It is also a surprise because I have had great results with OO in the past. I have attached the docx file and the pdf generated from it with MS Word.
Created attachment 42877 [details] Pdf file produced by MS Word so the original table column widths can be seen
one for cedric?
(In reply to comment #2) > one for cedric? Lubos, can you handle this one? I have my plate of bugs ATM :)
Only import seems to be broken, it reads NS_ooxml::LN_CT_TblGridBase_gridCol but doesn't seem to use it.
Lubos, any progress? This is still not solved in the current version of LibreOffice. Try making some tables in Office 2010, save as .doc or .docx. Export to PDF. Now open the file in OpenOffice/LibreOffice. Export to PDF. Tables are fucked. Lines look bad and height of rows is not preserved. This is really pretty severe. LibreOffice should work with tables produced by other word processors.
can confirm with Win7-64
sorry, forgot to mention: LibreOffice 3.3.2 OOO330m19 (Build:202) tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2 check with Vista 32 and Beta 4 still shows the same behaviour LO 3.4.0 DEV300m103 (Build:4)
same behaviour with DEV300m103 (Build:5) and Win7-64
Reports on this are also coming in on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/881485
Created attachment 57442 [details] PHPWord generated document PHPWord generated document containing multiple tables. When this file is opened in Word / Google Docs the column widths are set but in Libreoffice the widths are ignored.
This is still true in Libreoffice 3.5.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
The test doc appears to be working for me now in Ubuntu 12.04 with LibreOffice 3.5.0 Build ID: 350m1(Build:13).
Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 with Libreoffice 3.6.1.2 (Build ID: e29a214) Table width is rendered correctly with this version. But the font is "Time 11.1" in the PDF, it is converted to "Times New Roman 12" in writer. So the text is to long for a few cell, and go to next line. If I force all text to 11.1, the document matches exactly the PDF.
I am witnessing this same problem in 4.0.2.2 on Windows XP and 3.6x on LinuxMint 14
Checked with: Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 087a610fcd5c0c354a9ed6bfccd3451b667d62a3 TinderBox: Win-x86@6-debug, Branch:master, Time: 2013-08-04_21:41:24 Windows 8.1 Enterprise Preview 64 bit Table looks the same in LibreOffice as in Word 2013.
WORKSFORME on OS X 10.8.4, LO 4.1.1.1 and Ubuntu 13.04 LO 4.1.0.3. Please re-open if you disagree.
