Created attachment 50034 [details] all the 3 documents along with the screenshots are attached using libreoffice 3.3.2 writer,created a page.entered a 3by3 table.in the top left corner,wrote "howdy" and in the bottom right corner wrote "why is it going out?". after that,pressed "ctrl+s" and saved the file ( FILESAVE ).naturally its saved into .odt.then pressed "shift+ctrl+s" and choose the option of .doc & .docx file format. then double clicked the 3 documents separately to open them through libreoffice-- .odt opened normally(as was saved-all 3 columns are visible) .doc opened with all 3 columns .docx created the problem when it was opened,the last column was outside the page limit.and not visible at all. reported the problem to the user mailing list.they were also able to reproduce the problem.interestingly tom davies from the mailing list,told me that the docx file was opening normally in microsoft office. meaning that,docx created by libreoffice could not be opened properly by libreoffice itself but by microsoft office. i am attaching the files & screenshots-please have a look at them.hopefully this FORMATTING problem could be solved easily. thanks in advance PS. i am using ubuntu lucid (10.04) and the desktop is gnome 2.
I have the same issue. Column widths are often not preserved when I save, close and open a file. This always happens with .docx files. I have noticed it happening for .odt and .doc files also, however it doesn't happen as often.
