documents and screenshots mentionned in the problem description, packed into one file

Problem description: 

the document "Orig.DOC" in Word-Format is generated by a program. It opens ok in Word 2007 - Screenshot Word_2007.jpg.

If opened in Libreoffice, it is not useable. Screenshot LO-3.4.4.jpg shows it in LibreOffice 3.4.4 (official release); Screenshot LO-3.5-Beta2.jpg shows it in LibreOffice 3.5.0-Beta2.

If the document is opened by Word 2007 and saved without applying changes (to file Saved_by_Word.doc) and this file (Saved_by_Word.doc) is opened with LibreOffice, it show more or less ok (Screenshot LO-3.5-Beta2_Saved_by_Word.jpg).

Intel I5-32xx, Windows7 64-bit

MS Word 2007 SP3 screenshot differs from bugreporter's one

Hello.
The original table is still destroyed in LibreOffice 4.0.3.2. “Saved_by_word.doc” in LibreOffice is similar to bugreporter screenshot. But both files is destroyed in my MS Word 2007 SP3 (see attached screenshot). Unfortunately I have not newer version of MS Office. If the file is corrupted in newer MS Office, the report is better to close. Can somebody test it?
Comment 4 Helmut Leininger 2014-07-16 18:44:22 UTC
The documentation for this bug has been produced by MS Office 2007 SP3. The reason for the diffence in the screenshot in Comment #3 is the setting in the options to show formatting characters. In German: Word-Optionen / Anzeige / Alle Formatierungszeichen anzeigen.

Regards

tested under Win7x64

I confirm the Orig.doc file is correctly rendered by MS Word Viewer and incorrectly rendered by LibO 4.2.5.2 and 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ (*)

I see the same problem with AOO 4.1.0 so the bug is inherited from OOo.

I also confirm that the Saved_by_word.doc files is correctly displayed by OOo

Comment 6 David H. Gutteridge 2014-07-17 03:44:06 UTC
Additional data points: the file Orig.doc is correctly rendered in MS Word 2010, where it is identical to the original submitter's Word 2007 screenshot. It may (or may not) amuse to note that Orig.doc does not render correctly in Microsoft's Word Online product, where it is far more garbled than in LibreOffice. (Screenshot attached.)

Garbled rendering in Word Online

Just an example from another piece of software that can't render the table correctly which happens to be a Microsoft product.

Yes. I am sorry for the disturbance. It's the first time I have seen showing formatting characters changing a page representation so much.

Still present in LO 5.2.1.2 64-bit, Windows 10
Comment 14 Helmut Leininger 2016-09-20 11:24:05 UTC
LO thinks the table has 7 (seven) columns whereas Word sees only 3 (three). After saving again with Word2007, Lo sees only 3 columns, too.
