What versions of LibreOffice and Microsoft Word are you using? Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information. LibreOffice 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 in Windows and Linux. MS Word 2003 (in Windows obviously). I will need to confirm if the same for MS Word 2007 (and newer) but I believe it is so. Maybe someone else could test if they have 2010 or 2013? Follow the steps from the original Description, using the attachment (with the unfortunately very long name). Reproduced. Opened the .dot file through "Open" in MSO to edit it as a template. "Saved as", opened new file in LibreOffice and the break was gone. Win 8.1 32-bit MSO 2013 LibreOffice: Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: a2fa9e2468aa5c4fd4b610c5d0ebc8959e87a072 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2015-02-23_02:10:01 Locale: fi_FI ** Please read this message in its entirety before responding ** To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

simple.doc: minimal test duplicating the problem
The problem is related to Paragraph styles with page-break enabled. Word seems to throw away the "duplicate" page break (sprm 0x2407) that comes from the table-properties text-flow break-before, and uses only the paragraph style setting.
Word honors the paragraph page-break for each row. Writer ignores all paragraph page-breaks that are inside of a table.
A work-around for OP's LostTableBreaks.dot is to remove the page-break on the "Unit title" paragraph style.

Created attachment 113382 [details] This .dot was last saved in LibreOffice, so when opened in LO, page break exists. Open in Word, save, open in LibreOffice, page break is gone. Page break still exists when viewed again in Word. Existing .doc documents (from Word) with page breaks between Tables have the page breaks "lost" when opening in LibreOffice. Adding the breaks manually in LibreOffice works fine when opening again in LibreOffice or Word. However, the page breaks between tables are once again "lost" in LibreOffice after the document is re-edited and saved in MS Word. Again, re-opening in Word the page breaks still exist, but re-opening in LibreOffice the page breaks are lost. It seems to only be breaks between tables that are lost. Unfortunately we have many documents using tables as formatting guides.
