Hint: It seems that the TAG "bindata" is the problem.

I confirm this. Header in MS word shows address and header in LO shows only Logo. Do you want to narrow down bug report to that problem? "Sometimes it pdisplays documents wrong" is too global.

Hello Dieter,

Sorry but it is not my task to investigate these issues more detailed.

If an application claims that it supports a document format, every single document in this format have to processed properly.

It is the developer/test team of LibreOffice, which has to create test documents of any kind, and test it with the application.

That's not the idea of a community driven project. I myself spent my time as a volunteer. Developer will take a confirmed bug, but we need a clear bug description

See meta bug 113869 for Word 2003 xml bugs.

Hello,

I don't know what you mean with "Do you want to narrow down bug report to that problem?"

As a user, I dont know the technical reason, why some documents are displayed properly and some are not. So I can only guess, like "this document displayes the header wrong, due to the fact that there are tables in the header area".

Bug description "Format Word2003 XML not supported" is too broad. As you can see in meta bug 113869 we have several different report related to that format.

So every bug report should only focus on one specific problem. So I propose to focus here on the header problem I've described in comment 6. And my question is: Do you confirm the header problem? Do you agree to focus report on that report. Feel free to open different report for other problems with Word2003 XML format.

Hello,

I changed the topic to "Error in displaying header in Strict Open-XML (DOCX) Format".
So let's focus on the defect document "Sample DOCX with defect Header" of the attachment section.
