Document that does not display properly in Libre Office.

The attached MS Office document has severe compatibility issues with Libre Office 3.4. At the moment I do not have access to a PDF converter that might produce a document that shows how the file is supposed to appear, so any devs looking at it will need MS Office. I will attach the appropriate PDF when I find software that will make it (I do not have access to a Windows computer at the moment).

Thank you.

Hi Dotan,

thanks for the report. As is, this bug will go nowhere, which is why I'm setting it to invalid.

If you want LibreOffice to improve with edge case documents like you attached one, please do the following:

File new bugs about any issues in regards to your test file. But stick strictly to the rule "one issues per bug". E.g. if an image does not display file a bug which says "Image on page one, second column third row not displaying as expectred (works in word)". Then file another bug for the next problem.

Feel free to connect all your reports concerning the same test file by using the "See also" field at the top.

Otherwise developers and QA do not know what to look out for.

(In reply to steve -_- from comment #3)

You are 100% correct. I will document each individual problem and file separate bugs. Thank you.
