Created attachment 65123 [details] the offending document I open a .doc sent to me from a MS Word user. Its 26 pages long and looks fine. I make some minor edits (word replacements mostly), the .doc still looks fine and is still 26 pages long. I save the .doc (using the MSWord ...2003 option) and then reload it. Now, the page count shows as 92 and starting midway thru page 8, beginning with "ADDIN EN.CITE ..." the document now displays what I assume is its underlying XML format. This has happened several times in editing this document. Yes, I've rebooted and reviewed, still a mess. Interestingly, viewing the document in Word, it looks fine.
This document appears corrupted. Could you attach the original one?
Created attachment 65453 [details] the original doc the original doc as sent to me from the MS-Word using author before i made any changes to it using OpenOffice. at least for me, this doc opens and views just fine using OpenOffice.
The problems are only partly reproducible with LO 3.6.4.3. (Win7 Home, 64bit). This issue has to be analysed more deeply. I opened the original document and changed a word and afterwards have saved it as a .doc file. It saves the file, but with an error message "Warning saving the document XYZ: Write Error. All changes to the Basic Code are lost.The original VBA Macro Code is saved instead." If you reopen it, then it will be opened without an error message and has still 26 pages like before. But there is in addition another bug. If you open the original document in Excel 2007 then it has 35 pages, but if you open it in LO then it has only 26 pages, because the list of references is missing.

There is something really bizarre about those references. In MS Word, I right-click somewhere and can update field (a safe operation) or edit field. If I edit field, and then hit OK, everything vanishes and it looks like LO's 26 page document.
