it looks differently (no tables)

Comment 1 Winfried Donkers 2011-12-23 02:57:48 UTC 
I opened the file with 3.4.4 (Windows)
-the table was visible, but the document was read only.
I removed the read only flag in Explorer and reopened the file
-the table was visible and recognised as table (the toolbar appeared)

It does not look as a bug to me (ISNOTABUG)

Please make these steps to reproduce:
1. Open file in MS Word (any version) and see how it looks
   (OpenOffice.org 3.3 opens it well too). You must see 8 pages
   with a lot of tables
2. Open file in LibreOffice Writer (3.4.3 or 3.4.4) and see that
   it looks differently (no tables). You must see 4 pages with one table.

I use Windows 7 Home Basic SP1 Russian, LibreOffice 3.4.4 Russian

Pay attention, that this file is opened as expected in OpenOffice 3.3.0 too,
but not in LibreOffice.
