WordsProcessing: DocxFormatProvider: Table default cell left and right margin values are changed when not specified in the document

The default left and right margins for a table in MS Word are 0.08". However, the DocxFormatProvider uses 0 as a default value and overrides the padding when any of the top, bottom, right, or left is applied. For example:

<w:tblCellMar>
	<w:top w:w="2880" w:type="dxa"/>
	<w:bottom w:w="2880" w:type="dxa"/>
</w:tblCellMar>

after import/export results in

<w:tblCellMar>
	<w:top w:w="2880" w:type="dxa"/>
	<w:left w:w="0" w:type="dxa"/>
	<w:right w:w="0" w:type="dxa"/>
	<w:bottom w:w="2880" w:type="dxa"/>
</w:tblCellMar>

Hi Marcin,

I am sorry to hear that you have experienced issues with our library. Please note that we are constantly working on issues and new features but there still can be unhandled cases since the formats support many features and ways for creating documents.

I can see that you have unlimited support. The best way for such cases would be to open a new ticket and attach your document. This way our support team will be able to properly investigate each case and provide solutions where possible. The tickets are confidential and the documents will not be shared with any third parties.

Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Regards,

Thank you for fixing this bug :) In the meantime, I needed to switch from Telerik Word Processing to OpenXML. I found that your library does not preserve many nuances of the Word files I have been using. A simple operation, such as loading a Word document in your provider and then saving it under another name, was a root cause of many layout changes. OpenXML is stable solid in this regard, though a little bit harder to use.
