Comment 11 for bug 330366

We have the same basic issue but slightly different context - a Word 2003 document with tables, edited in OO3 then saved in Word 2003 format leads to:

users of Word 2003 can see the edited content
the OO3 editor/user can re-open the edited document and sees the edited content
BUT
OO2.4 users see that the tables are present but empty

If the OO3 editor/user saves the document in odt format, OO2.4 users CAN see table contents.

I am attaching a sample document - initially created in Word 2003, edited in OO3 and saved as Word 2003 doc format.

Additionally, on opening the OO3 .doc edited document in Abiword 2.4.6 the table content was visible. Saving from Abiword as Word 2003 format, then opening this saved version in OO2.4 - voila, the table content is visible.
