Description: When I open the attached DOCX file new pages start to being appended to the end of the document and this process seems never end. The DOCX was created in Word 2007 and it contains lots of big pictures that occupy whole page, some of which slightly go outside the page boundaries (Word allows that). The same is with the tables used in the footer of each page. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the attached file 2. The document is successfully loaded 3. Start scrolling it down Actual Results: Blank pages endlessly added to the end of the document. Expected Results: No new pages added, big pictures are located on their corresponding pages. The best result is also no skewed tables in the footer table, the side table and the page border. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: At least do not add new pages to the end so that the document would be at least minimally editable.

I confirm the problem. But you should try to narrow it down. So if you think it is caused by big pictures, please delete for example all headers and footers. I've treid to do it, but I couldn't edit the document.

Created attachment 188194 [details] Minimized example file Managed to push it down to 2 pages of as-char image with frame containing page numbering in the header. Both images and the header frame are needed for the endless loop, which also increases memory use by ~1 Mb / 2 seconds.

Hm, attachment 188194 [details] still shows up here as 2 pages. Can you try in safe mode? Does 'soffice --convert-to pdf minimal.docx' also hang for you? Possibly it's some additional trick that's needed here to still trigger the problem. And then best to have a new, follow-up bug for that. Thanks.
Aron says it also works for him on Linux, so this is OK in general. If we find that this still happens on Windows (or something like that), let's have a follow-up bug bug for it because then that will need a separate fix. Thanks.
I tested with yesterday's daily build, and both files open quickly, no hang. I adjusted the settings to match the ones in comment 9.
