Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. open a new document 2. create a table 3. write a VERTICAL text in a cell of the table 4. save in "Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP/2003 (.doc) format 5. close the document 6. reopen the document: now the text is horizontal! Current behavior: vertical text became horizontal when saving in MS 2000/xp (.doc) format Expected behavior: the text should remain vartical as happen when I save in .odt format Platform (if different from the browser): Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0 Iceweasel/15.0
Created attachment 66908 [details] original document with vertical text in odt format
Created attachment 66909 [details] the same document in MS 2000/XP (.doc) format the vertical text has become horizontal!
I have confirmed this behavior using LibreOffice Version 4.0.1.0+ (Build ID: 3e8af168ca227529b752abb9c7aecc42be4a229) and LibreOffice 4.0 on Ubuntu 12.04. This problem also occurs when the text is changed back to vertical in the .doc file. 1. Highlight text. 2. Format -> Character 3. Click the position tab. 4. Change to 90 degrees. 5. Save and close the document. When you reopen the .doc after making the change, that character position setting is back to 0 degrees, horizontal. This behavior does not occur when the text is not inside a table.
