There is no such option because, in principle, it is not needed. Whether
row and column separators are present or absent entirely depends on the
source DOCX table.
- If the DOCX table is borderless, our W2X tool adds colsep="0" rowsep="0".
- Otherwise, our W2X tool does *NOT* add colsep="1" rowsep="1" because
it's the implicit value of these attributes.
See "OASIS Technical Memorandum TM 9502:1995", "CALS Table Model
Document Type Definition", https://www.oasis-open.org/specs/a502.htm:
---
colsep=x
...
Default = IMPLIED (implies value from tabstyle in style specification if
available, if not, implies "1").
rowsep =x
...
Default = IMPLIED (implies value from tabstyle if used, if not, implies
"1").

See for example:
- DOCX input contains several tables:
http://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/_distrib/doc/manual/manual.docx
- DITA Topic output contains equivalent CALS tables (without explicit
colsep="1" rowsep="1" but yet showing row and column separators):
http://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/_distrib/doc/manual/manual_topic.dita
/(Frankly, I think colsep=”1” rowsep=”1” should be the default: tables
with separators are _far_ more common than tables without them.)/
That's right but, in principle, everything in the output comes from
what's found in the input, therefore, in principle, we don't need to
rely on such defaults for our W2X tool.
What to do now?
--> You may have found a bug. We would be very grateful in you could
send us a sample DOCX file letting us reproduce the issue here at
XMLmind Software.
OR
--> There is no bug, but your DITA processor (DITA-OT?) does not
consider that colsep="1" rowsep="1" are the defaults. In such case, the
customization to force colsep="1" rowsep="1" is super simple. Just ask
for it.
