PM25738: During Export to Word, horizontal line seperators and blank table cells inherit style from previous attribute exported

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During Export to Word, horizontal line seperators and blank
  table cells inherit style from previous attribute exported
  
  For horizontal line seperators:
  - Create a module with 4 objects.
  - For object 1 and 3, have only Object Heading
  - For object 2 and 4, have only Object Text
  - While exporting module to Word, choose 'Use horizontal line
  separators in book layout exports'.
  
  In the resulting document, we can observe that the horizontal
  line seperators after object 1 and 3 are in the style of Heading
  1, and after 2, 4 the style of horizontal line seperators is
  Normal.
  
  In earlier versions, all horizontal line seperators are always
  of style Normal.
  
  For empty table cells:
  - Create a module with 4 objects.
  - For object 1 and 3, have only Object Heading
  - For object 2 and 4, have only Object Text
  - Insert a table (with 2 rows and 2 columns) after object 3.
  Fill the cells in first row with some text.
  - Insert a table (with 2 rows and 2 columns) after object 4.
  Fill the cells in first row with some text.
  - Export the module to Word.
  
  In the resulting document, we can observe that in the table
  after object 3, style for the second row is 'Heading' style.
  In the table after object 4, style for the second row is is
  Normal.
  
  Issue reproducible from 9.2.0.4 and above. In 9.2.0.2 and
  earlier, the issue is not seen. For ALL table cells, the style
  is Normal by default.

  ****************************************************************
  In exported documents for Word, horizontal lines and empty
  table cells inherit the previous style. eg: In the exported
  document, horizontal line will have the "Heading 1" style,
  if there is a text with that style just before it.
  

Problem conclusion

• Word exporter script is fixed. Horizontal lines and empty
  table cells doesn't inherit the previous style anymore.
