I'm unconvinced this is a bug, so changed the status to NEEDINFO, see below for the background. 1) After looking at the html in detail, there are various minor problems. In general the defaults take care of the fact that the html has some errors. However, the html includes some layout oddities, eg the first character of the introduction does not seem to be correctly coded. The display of the html document in Firefox, Internet Explorer and in Libre Office all show the character 'T' in what is obviously the wrong position, but it is what I would expect from the html. This is almost certainly caused by a restriction or error in the Google Docs export, ie nothing to do with Libre Office. 2) This was originally a Word template. I don't understand the reason for converting it to html, especially not from Google Docs which clearly doesn't support 'round tripping' for .doc documents, eg the option to 'double click to edit' is not supported by the export. For papers submitted to a journal you are better to keep the format as close as possible to the one you need to use for submission to the journal. Conversions to and from html are very likely to cause problems, whatever software you use, and unless you have a reason for displaying the document as a web page, there seems no benefit. 3) If you still believe that there are Libre Office errors, please can you create a minimum example of html code that demonstrates the incorrect layout in Libre Office but not elsewhere so that a developer could focus on the essence of the problem. 4) If the .doc version does not work properly in Libre Office, please submit a separate bug report.

Created attachment 64018 [details] The html file I mentioned I had a file (actually the template of Journal Of Optical Commpunications) and had imported in Google docs. I exported it as html and tried to view in Libreoffice. While qupzilla 1.2.0 and MS Office 2010 displayed it almost the same, Libreoffice was very very bad at displaying it. Especially the format and location of tables drew my attention. The same template is also available from the journal in .doc but the import in Libreoffice is also very bad but this is not my main problem. (I like standards compatible behavior).
