Created attachment 42876
MS Word docx with a wide table

I have a Word docx created with MS Office 2007, landscape, legal paper
size.

I'm using latest version of LO. When I open the file with either Libre
Office or Open Office the table columns lose all width information.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, 64-bit.

To me this is a show-stopper from getting folks to use LO.  It is also a
surprise because I have had great results with OO in the past.

I have attached the docx file and the pdf generated from it with MS
Word.

Only import seems to be broken, it reads
NS_ooxml::LN_CT_TblGridBase_gridCol but doesn't seem to use it.

Lubos, any progress? This is still not solved in the current version of
LibreOffice. Try making some tables in Office 2010, save as .doc or
.docx. Export to PDF. Now open the file in OpenOffice/LibreOffice.
Export to PDF. Tables are fucked. Lines look bad and height of rows is
not preserved.

This is really pretty severe. LibreOffice should work with tables
produced by other word processors.

Title:
  [Upstream] .odt table shifts left saving to .docx

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
  Release:	11.10

  2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
  libreoffice-writer:
    Installed: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2
    Candidate: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0

          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget -c
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/881485/+attachment/2572054/+files/17_Mike_DefendantsCROSS_TerryGlenn.odt
  -O example.odt && lowriter --nologo example.odt

  Save as Microsoft Word 2007/2010 XML (.docx) close and open
  example.docx and it looks the same.

  4) What happens instead is the table is shifted to the left.
