Description johnmking_uk 2011-02-15 08:50:15 UTC
Libreoffice 3.3 on both Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows XP .

I have received several docx files containing tables which do not display 
correctly in Libreoffice.

The outline of the table cells is visible on the page, but the lines 
themselves do not appear in print preview or when printed.  The border style 
is displayed as 'none', even though there is a border in the original word2007 
document.

The same thing happens in openoffice.org 3.2.1, but the lines display 
correctly in openoffice 3.3.

Hi, 

could you attach one of those files, optimally with a screenshot indicating where you'd expect the lines or, even better, a PDF showing the correct rendering?

Thanks, 
Peter

I've added attachments as requested.  The libreoffice pdf was generated in opensuse 11.2, but I've done the same on XP with the same results.

Also you will see that the page formatting is incorrect, with the Part 1 and part 2 headings on the wrong page.

LibreOffice 3.5.0 beta2
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! It's fixed! How long I've been waiting for this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Comment 11 johnmking_uk 2011-12-27 09:13:25 UTC
I've checked the original docx file (attachment 1 above) in 3.5 beta2, and the table lines show clearly.

Curiously, when the original word docx file is opened in 3.5, an extra line is inserted at the top of pages 2 and 3, which results in the table on page 3 extending into page 4.

Regression! It come back. 
It was fine with LibreOffice 3.5.0 beta2.

LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 (Build-ID: 350m1 Build:202) on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit (installed over ppa).

I have the same problem that table borders of a Word-2007-docx-document are not displayed correctly after opened with LO-writer. Though there is a border in the original word2007 document, the border style in LO-writer is displayed as 'none'.
Comment 15 johnmking_uk 2012-04-15 09:31:41 UTC
I've checked the original file on Libreoffice 3.5.2.2, and the table lines are no longer visible, and in table properties the line arrangement is set to 'set no borders'.
Comment 16 johnmking_uk 2012-05-11 11:41:23 UTC
I've just checked the original file in libreoffice 3.5.3 from opensuse repository.

The table lines are not visible in printout and and in table properties the line arrangement is set to 'set no borders'.

Comment 18 johnmking_uk 2012-06-05 09:20:42 UTC
I've just checked the original file in the Windows version of libreoffice 3.5.4 from the Libreoffice site

The table lines are still not visible in printout and and in table properties the
line arrangement is set to 'set no borders'.
Comment 19 Oleksandr Kalyniak 2012-07-15 14:24:25 UTC
LibreOffice 3.6.0.1

Finally! I can see table lines.
Comment 20 Brenda Granados 2013-02-21 15:22:26 UTC
I have confirmed that the table borders now show up using LibreOffice 4.0. I am closing this as WORKSFORME. Another user has also confirmed the table border visibility.
