Word DOC that does not display correctly in LibreOffice.

The attached Word DOC, which appears to be in XP-2003 format, does not display correctly in LibreOffice (or OpenOffice). In MS Word, the document has a total of 21 pages. In LibreOffice, only the first 2 pages show up. This was also a problem that occurred in OpenOffice 3.3. Trying to resolve the issue is what prompted the switch to LibreOffice. The document is essentially one giant table, which I gather may be the source of the issue.
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.0.4.2 release

Interesting behavior. Testing on LO 4.1.0.2.0 and OS X 10.8.4 LO displays 19 pages whilst MS Word displays 21 pages. All content is there so nothing get's lost but the formatting is displayed differently.

This document imo has some strange formatting. It takes a while in both programs to load completely although it is "only" a table with some text. So this document might have some very odd formatting.

When comparing the opened documents already on the first page I notice that Word displays #15 as the last number and LO goes to #16. That explains why the doc only has 19 pages when opened in LO.

Setting to NEW. OS to ALL.

I'll add this bug to both metas DOC-Paragraph and DOC-Tables because the last paragraph before the table begins seems to be displayed differently but I couldn't find any difference in style definitions.

The table row heights are the same, but in LibO more rows will be displayed at a page as in MS Word 2013.

No loading or scrolling issues in MS Word 2013.

First issue was showing just 2 first pages. It's resolved by opening 19 with full table. MSO counts 4 pages and has 20 with data and 21st empty. 
There are some MSO-LO differences but Bugzilla is not "document based", like "this document doesn't display as it should". 
Bugzilla is "issue based", so a single issue must be pointed at, after a search for not being a duplicate. 
There could be 3 issues here:
- *Donated* opens black from DOC while it's red and opens red from DOCX
- space before the table: shown differently in DOCX, I don't find it worth reporting. 
- row height: frequent issue with Microsoft fonts, not worth reporting, there are other bugs

I bisected this and found out many reports blame the same commit. I commented in bug 106705.
Comment 8 Timur 2018-08-17 09:04:38 UTC
Good. 
I commented in Bug 107999 for row height.
