Created attachment 63316 [details] Original "Poison" Word Document This is the original Word document that produces the un-editable frames in the file when converted. I just edited the document to remove some customer data and saved it with Word 2010 in compatibility mode. I tried importing it with LibreOffice: LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 Build ID: 165a79a-7059095-e13bb37-fef39a4-9503d18 The problem occurs with the freshly imported file. The Word document is quite old - I have been using it since 2005, and I did not originally create the document, it started as an invoice template. I converted it to ODT with "OpenOffice.org/3.1$Unix OpenOffice.org_project/310m11$Build-9399" back in 2009-05-13 and have been using it in that format with various versions of OO.org (and LibreOffice) ever since.
My OS is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with SP1. I have access to a Mac as well and will try that if you would like me to.
Checked this on my Mac, and the problem also exists there: LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 Build ID: 165a79a-7059095-e13bb37-fef39a4-9503d18 Mac OS X 10.7.2 (Lion)
Although the creation process for the documents might be interesting, AOOo 3.4 also has no problem with reporter's document (neither .odt not .doc), and so we should find a way to handle it, too. Nop problems with .doc for MS WORD Viewer. Cédric: Please set Status to ASSIGNED and add yourself to "Assigned To" if you accept this Bug
the uneditable frames all have "Wrap" set to "In Background". *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 52182 ***
