Created attachment 72693 [details] DOTX template file with protected header and footer content My organization has provided ".dotx" files as a template for me to use, but I cannot open it correctly rendered in LibreOffice 3.6.4 or LO-dev 4.0 Beta 2. I've tried this in OpenSUSE 12.1 and Windows 8. *Essentially the header and footer are protected fields created in Word 2010 with graphics and text, and the body is open for text, but supposedly with limitations of manipulation. When I open the file I have a page that looks blank with a field to type in, but the header and footer seem stripped out, and I can manipulate more than I think I am supposed to. If from MS Word I save the file as a "doc" and then work from there-- it mostly works. It preserves the content and formatting of the header and footer 90% (margins are off a little). However when in LibreOffice the protections built-in from Word formatting restrictions are not applied. A Nabble thread referencing this is here: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Unable-to-use-dotx-files-tp4027691p4027872.html Thank you!
I can reproduce this problem using Mac OSX 10.8.2 and Linux Mint 14 x64. Both tested with LibreOffice 4.0.0.2 rc2. I also verified the document using Word for Mac 2011; There the document has indeed a header and footer. Therefore I mark this as NEW. Following [1] I mark this as 'Medium' but 'high'.

I am running 5.4.0.1 and the document MOSTLY renders correctly. I think some spacing is still off in the header. This is not entirely broken, but improved, since the bug was originally filed.
I am now using 6.0.1.1 (x64) and happy with the usability currently exists.
