Created attachment 63975 [details] File demonstrating issue Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new document in Microsoft Word. 2. Open "Properties" and add a new custom document property with a value starting with "<" (e.g., "<Test"). 3. Save the document as a docx file. 4. Open the docx file in LibreOffice. 5. Open File->Properties. 6. The previously added property shows only as "<". Expected behavior: Custom document properties containing a "<" should be properly imported from docx files. Notes: I can only reproduce this when opening docx files. Properties are correctly imported from doc files. I have attached a docx file that demonstrates this issue. It has a property named "Test" with the value "<Test". This property can be read correctly by Word, but LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 shows its value as "<".
Confirmed with LO 3.6 beta 2
