.dotx template file created in MS Word 2007

template_letterhead.dotx is a letterhead template designed in MS Word 2007, and saved in the default Word 2007 .dotx file format.

Not sure if one bug, or multiple small bugs is the best way of submitting this, but Libreoffice Writer has numerous issues rendering the document:

1. The heading image is rendered badly. The image inside the .dotx file (image1.png) looks to be OK, so I don't know what is causing it to be displayed this way in Writer. 

2. The heading image is moved to the top-left of the table cell. In the original document it was dragged to appear in a custom location within the cell, which is possibly what this bit of the document.xml inside the .dotx file refers to:

<wp:positionH relativeFrom="column"><wp:posOffset>1105535</wp:posOffset></wp:positionH>-<wp:positionV relativeFrom="paragraph"><wp:posOffset>451485</wp:posOffset></wp:positionV>

3. The drop-down combo-box which is meant to show before the @domain.com text isn't shown at all by Writer. In Word 2007, there is the option to choose between five different items which changes the text displayed as the first part of the email address.

4. The date has been drawn in the Times New Roman font, when it was in the Calibri font when the document was saved in Word. The theme1.xml part of the dotx file appears to be where the font detail is contained ( <a:latin typeface="Calibri"/>. )

5. is reproducible by opening the .dotx file in Writer, and then saving it as a .odt file without making any changes. Then close Writer and open the newly created .odt - the image that was in the template has now been duplicated, with a correctly rendered version showing in the top-right of the page in addition to the one still showing as described in 1. & 2. above.

PDF attachments show the display of the dotx file in Word (as it was designed) and in Writer, as well as the resulting odt created in 5.

Comment 5 sasha.libreoffice 2012-02-03 05:02:25 UTC
in LibO 3.6.0 master of 1 feb 2012 on Fedora 64 bit
reproducible this:
a) email has no drop down list
b) date has font from style, in mso font name is from surrouding text
(my be not Wirter fault because in Writer field is not editable and in Word editable)
c) odt file, saved from template, has duplicated picture (reported in another bugreport)
Comment 6 Teo91 2013-09-29 18:47:33 UTC

- no more mistakes duplicate and bad placed "Writer logo" in an odt file saved from the template
But:
- still no mail drop-down list
- the page background is now BLUE (see attachment)

In Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit and LibO 3.5, the only buggy thing is the missing dropdown box.

LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3

Comment 12 Alejandro Moreno 2016-01-19 10:21:39 UTC
This bug also depens on 66397.

settings.xml has the line
<w:documentProtection w:edit="forms" w:enforcement="1"/>
that doesn't permit modify background color and this is ignored by Libreoffice.
Comment 13 Alejandro Moreno 2016-01-19 10:42:31 UTC
If you see the content of the file it contains the line
<w:background w:color="00B8FF"/> 
in document.xml that is the background color in Libreoffice. But if I open the file with MS Word I obtain that MS Word ignores that line. I could not identify because MS Office does that.
Comment 14 Telesto 2016-11-24 19:34:10 UTC
The drop-down issue seems to be fixed. That's why i'm gonna close this one. I created a new bug report related to the blue background (bug 104150).
