Created attachment 86779 [details] Created document stored as .odt *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. *Attachments* - shadedTable.odt - shadedTable.doc

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