MS .doc file fails to import correctly

This bug was tested LibreOffice v4.1 RC1 running in windows 7 and XP. It appears that LibreOffice loses formatting when importing MS Word 2003 .doc files. I have attached an example.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Open attached Demo-Hayden-Management.doc document in writer 
2. Open attached Demo-Hayden-Management.doc document in Word2003/Office 365
3. Compare the documents. 

Note item #1 in the image comparison. The header is incorrectly indented, causing the text to flow off the page.

Thanks for splitting them all up to multiple bug reports! Really appreciated.

I can confirm this behavior using Mac OSX 10.8.3 with LibreOffice 4.1.0.1 RC.

NoRepro:4.2.0.1:OSX

See screenshot https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66119 for correct display of item #1.

Please retry with LO 4.2.0.1 or above.

I tested this with libo-master~2014-01-09_00.59.58_LibreOfficeDev_4.3.0.0.alpha0_Win_x86. It was NOT fixed. The title is cut off. Is there a regression in 4.3 or is this working on OS X but broken on Windows?
Comment 5 retired 2014-01-20 22:40:14 UTC 
Retested with latest 4.3a0+ and also works. NoRepro:4.3.0.0a0+:OSX

Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 3f150d2601a5eaec579816bc30a19fc4a446d571
TinderBox: MacOSX-x86@49-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-01-20_01:32:14

Luke: you write "libo-master~2014-01-09" was what you tested with. Could you please test with latest nightly if you are testing with nightly?

If this perists, we might have to re-open it and look at it under MS Windows. Which windows are you using by the way?
Comment 6 Luke 2014-01-21 11:40:25 UTC 
I retested this on a Windows 7 64-bit machine with: 
libo-master~2014-01-20_23.27.35_LibreOfficeDev_4.3.0.0.alpha0_Win_x86.msi  
result : Fail

I also tested on a different Win XP 32-bit machine with:
LibreOffice 3.3.1
result : Fail

LibreOffice 4.2.0 RC2 (2014-01-12)
result : Fail

libo-master~2014-01-20_23.27.35_LibreOfficeDev_4.3.0.0.alpha0_Win_x86.msi 
result : Fail


Do you have the Cambria Fonts installed? It's MS Font that comes installed on XP and with MS Office. For example, if I change the Header font to "Courier New", the whole title is displayed.


Interestingly, with Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1, the title was displayed correctly.
