I tested as per the above, and indeed LO does save the .doc with modified column widths. I tested by saveas in LO 3.3.3 and then opened the .doc with: LO 3.3.3 (linux) LO 3.4.3 (linux) OOo 3.2.1 (go-oo build - Ubuntu linux) OOo 3.2.0 (Windows) MSO Word97 (yes I have MSO97 on an VirtuaBox Win2K install) The worst/more serious issue is that in MSO Word97 blank second column is inserted/shown. This means that the document renders only 3 populated columns rather than 4. Screenshot is here: http://imageshack.us/f/841/screenshotwin2kprorunni.png/ So, you've a valid bug to report.
