Comment 3 n.lederbauer 2014-07-11 14:48:30 UTC 
Same behavior:
using LO 4242.
Got an E-mail with a table in it.
Copy and paste in a new writer document: no table, only the content wihout formatting.
Then I dressed a table and tryed to paste the content in the table - no way, even when I marked the whole table before.
Then I copied the whole document  (text & table)
same result as before.

Copied the table and pasted it into MS Word 2010: this did work!

What do users who have only LibreOffice?
Comment 4 n.lederbauer 2014-07-12 13:37:32 UTC 
Using LibreOffice 4.2.5.2 on Linux (Kubuntu trusty).

Dear Zeki,

Thank you for submitting the bug. I can confirm that the bug is available in Windows 7 on 3.3.0, 3.6.7, 4.3.1 and master.

By default LibreOffice pastes the 'html without comments' option, which is shown in attachment 93845 [details]. The paste special rtf option could have worked except most of the tables were crushed flat (seems wordpad and kingsoft writer do this as well, but slightly different). The only means to retain the original form is to paste special with 'microsoft word document' and 'gdi metafile' options, but of course these formats are not editable after pasting as one is an ole object and latter is a picture.

By default word 2013 pastes in html format, which doesnt look exactly like the original, but if special pasted in rtf format it does.

Dear Zeki Bildirici,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
