Under word the table is not shown (unless hidden text is displayed) or printed, under OOo it is (52.00 KB, application/msword)

Description mux2005 2006-11-16 15:10:57 UTC 
The attached sample document contains a table that was selected with the mouse
(including the surrounding 2 empty paragraphs to make sure the table is
completely covered by the selection), then right-click/Character.../Font
effects/Hidden was activated. The expected result would be that the table
disappears, too. Actual result is that the empty grid remains. This is
unexpected and of IMHO doesn't make sense for the user, especially since the
table is printed like this, too. Word handles this correctly, so this document
looks and prints differenly in OOo and Word.

MRU->FME: this looks quite unexpectd. A table surroounded by hidden text
attribute shunk to its minimum size. It should be als hidden.

A workaround (for mux) could be to put the tables into frames. Then they are hidden.

An odt-example is here:
http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/47568/HiddenText.odt

Contrary to TextFrames TextTables have no property "print". So I consider this
api-restriction as the main problem for solving this issue.
