Description mpupat 2003-10-10 10:17:38 UTC 
When I export the attached document to MS Word and reopen it with MS Word, it 
is longer than in OOo. The problem seems to come from the ending cell caracter 
(the round with 4 lines in MS Word) which is 6 dots high in OOo but seems to be 
much higher in MS Word.

Comment 5 michael.ruess 2003-10-14 11:23:40 UTC 
This is because Writer and Word behave different on paragraphs which
have a "spacing below" in tables. When the last para in a table cell
has a "spacing below" it is ignored by Writer (the spacing is set via
the cell borders). In Word, this is taken into account; thus the
documents can look a bit different. You can workaround this by setting
the paragraph spacing below to 0 cm for the last paragraph in a cell
before exporting the document to Word format.

In OO 2.0 this problem will be solved by adding a new compatibility
option for this. The whole section "compatibility options" (which is
currently located in Tools.Options.Text Document.General) will be
redesigned and enhanced then.

Comment 7 michael.ruess 2004-06-09 08:07:33 UTC 
Fixed in current OO 2.0 by new compatibility option "Add paragraph and table
spacings at bottom of cells". See snapshot build 680m38.
