[Reproduced] with "LibreOffice 3.5.2 - Debian 6.0.4 i386 English UI"
Comment 2 Joel Madero 2012-09-11 20:56:47 UTC
I don't see this issue. Where are you setting alignment to automatic? Marking as NEEDINFO. Also please provide a test document so that our developers don't have to. Lastly, once you provide a bit more information and the attachment, please reopen as UNCONFIRMED and I'll try to confirm it.
Comment 3 Joel Madero 2012-09-11 20:57:32 UTC
Also, does this look like the same issue that you are reporting?

Created attachment 80035 [details]
Zip containing two test files.
Comment 6 Robert Rioja 2013-05-30 12:13:33 UTC
Attached is a zip file with two Writer files that show the bug.  This is how I created the files:
1.  In Writer, start a new document.
2. Click Table, Insert, Table.  In the dialog, click Insert.
3. Open the Table Properties dialog.
4. Change the name to Header, and make sure that the Alignment is set to Automatic.  Then click OK
5. Save As TableTest.odt
6. Save As TableTest.doc
7. Close and reopen Writer.
8. Open the files and check the table properties.
9. The table in the odt file is named Header, but the one in the doc file is named Table1.  Also, the Alignments will not be the same.

I can confirm same behavior using LO 4.0.4.1 (Win7 32bit). DOC file not properly save Table properties, though it's invisible to the eyes because default alignment for automatic is left.

Seems similar with Bug 48848, but need to investigate further with that bug.
Comment 8 Jorendc 2013-11-20 18:19:37 UTC
I can confirm this behavior, tested using Mac OSX 10.9 with LibreOffice Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 9c45345a680f7444df251f9403c7d56572380f21
TinderBox: MacOSX-x86@49-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2013-11-18_12:43:03

Also reproducible using the .docx file format.

Kind regards,
Joren

Confirm this too on Ubuntu 13.10 AMD64.
