Description grahamft 2013-08-02 14:39:12 UTC 
A document created consisting entirely of tables, for formatting purposes, appears correct and as intended when viewed on the screen and when exported to a PDF.

When saved as an ODT file and then reopened, the layout of the document has been almost entirely destroyed: row depths have been changed; graphics moved to new locations, text disappears.

This happens regularly and is not a one-off.

I attach both the original file and the PDF export copy so that you can see how it should look.  Try opening it with OO4 and see what happens.

I also attach a JPG screen shot of how the document looks within OO4 when I open it, so that you can see that I am telling the truth!

The attachment is a ZIP file containing these three files, as it seems that you only allow one attachment!

I would have attached the original file and the PDF copy as well but your 1MB file size limit means that I am unable to do so.  Let me know how I can get these to you and I will do so.

You said that the original document displayed correctly in AOO 4.0 until you saved and reloaded it?  Is that correct?

If so, what product (and version) did you use to create and save the document originally?

You may share the file for diagnostics purposes so long as you make it 
clear to all who use them that they are to be used for *no* other purpose!

Yes this is correct.  OO4 was used both to create the original document, to save it (is there any other way?), and to reopen it.

Just updated to OO 4.0.1.  Have reproduced the bug.  Clearly not yet resolved.
