I have a .doc file which shows some items on two separate pages. When open in LibreOffice Writer in 3.3 RC3 on Windows 7, it displays as a single page with the items superimposed on each other. I have also tested with LibreOffice 3.3 RC3 on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick to confirm the behaviour. The .doc file is attached. I would be delighted to assist with further testing.
