*Short description*
Since OpenOffice is known for its compatibility with Microsoft Office switching between the file types .odt and .doc should not be a problem at all. Therefore, it is surprising that saving a shaded table in Open Office Writer as .doc and re-opening this file again in Open Office Writer leads to the loss of the table shadow.
 
*Step to reproduce*
- Open ‘Open Office Writer’
- Insert a table via ‘Table’ > ‘Insert ‘ > ‘Table
- Adopt the default settings and press the ‘OK’ button
- Navigate to ‘Table’ > ‘Properties’
- Under the tab ‘Borders’ navigate to ‘Shadow style’
- Select under ‘Position’ the fifth field called ‘Cast Shadow to Top Left’
- Accept the other default settings and press the ‘OK’ button
- Navigate to ‘File’ > ‘Save As’
- Use ‘shadedTable’ as file name under ‘Save As:’
- Select as ‘File type:’ the option ‘Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)’
- Press the ‘Save’ button
- Close ‘Open Office Writer’
- Open ‘Open Office Writer’
- Navigate to ‘File’ > ‘Open’
- Select the file ‘shadedTable.doc’

*Actual result*
The shadow of the table is gone.

*Expected result*
The shadow of the table is still there.

This feature does not exist in MS-Word.
So, this is an enhancement to ask at Microsoft.
