Testcase

The attached testcase, where splitting tables is forbidden, does not preserve this property once saved as .doc and opened in Microsoft Word 97
Comment 1 raal 2016-01-20 19:28:36 UTC
Where can I see this parameter in Microsoft Word? Can you post a printscreen?
Comment 2 Nicolas Mailhot 2016-01-21 13:35:51 UTC
1. open the file in LOO : no table is split on multiple pages
2. save as .doc
3. open the result in Word 97 : tables are split on multiple pages
Comment 3 raal 2016-01-21 14:23:55 UTC
Needs to be confirmed to status NEW. Post a printscreen, I doesn't see thin in word 2003.

Sorry I meant to write Word 2007, which is the only version I have access to
Comment 8 Buovjaga 2016-02-04 16:47:21 UTC
Unable to locate split tables. I also tried to make them split by inputting empty lines, but tables just jumped to the next page and DID NOT split.

Again, plz attach screenshot of the problem.

There is something different in the layout, however, as in LibO, page count is 16, but in word it is 17.

This looks like a DUP of bug 62613, setting as such.

Comment 16 Nicolas Mailhot 2016-08-18 12:08:09 UTC
It has nothing to do with bug #62613, bug #62613 concerns not honouring a word setting to split table lines when importing in LO, this bug is about not honouring a setting forbidding to split lines when exporting from LO
Comment 17 Justin L 2016-08-23 13:19:21 UTC
I believe that Word does not have an option to prevent a table from splitting. 

So, LibreOffice needed to emulate that behaviour, which was re-implmeented in 5.2.  The SETTING table->textFlow.allow-table-to-split-across-rows-and-columns is not preserved (instead, each row is set to keep with next), but the LAYOUT effect is the same.

duplicate of bug 91083 - fixed in 5.2 for .doc and .docx.

A remaining enhancement could be recognizing the emulation on import, removing the keep-with-next-row setting, and disabling allow-table-to-split.
