Created attachment 84849 [details] The zip contains the three files referred to in the bug report Problem description: A document was created in Writer that contains a couple of tables (see file two-tables.odt as attached). When I did "file/save as" in Word97 format, the resulting document (file word97.doc as attached) contained tables that MS Office 2007 described as corrupt and tried (unsuccessfully) to repair (see file word97-rep.doc). If I open Word97.doc with Writer, the first table looks good. However the second table ends with some spurious page breaks. If I export file two-tables.odt in PDF format, there are no problems. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open file two-tables.odt in Writer 2. Choose "file/save as" and save in Word97 format 3. Now open the resulting file in Word 2007 Current behavior: The resulting Word97 format file has tables that Word 97 regards as corrupt, and that even Writer has some issues with. Expected behavior: The Word97-format file should look the same as the original file in Writer, and should not be corrupt as far as Word is concerned. Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.0.4.2 release

This bug is still present in LibreOffice 6.2.7.1. However, if you save the .odt file as a .docx file (Word 2007-2019) format then the tables look fine. Given the antiquity of Word97, I am happy for this bug to be closed.
Well, it was recently decided that .PPT filesave bugs should be kept open, so let's keep this one as well.
As a side note, saving as DOCX saves page numbers as regular numbers, not roman numerals. That must be an import problem, because Word 2003 reads the docx with roman numerals. A regression in LO 6.0. Reported as bug 132185. This appears to be a duplicate of bug 61423
