i have a word document that was saved as a word 2000 doc from word 2010, when i import this document into libreoffice writer, what saved as a 15 page document in word 2010 has suddenly exploded to 362! pages when imported. The document contained a table with over 5mths of information relating to jobsearching, this table has suddenly been duplicated X times with the same information as the 15 page version repeated x amount of times. I no longer have access to word 2010 and can't go back and do something to change on that end.
Created attachment 89556 [details] affected file opened in word 2000 showing a 15 page document I managed to dig out my old copy of ms office 2000, thankfully it runs realtivly fine under wine 1.6 This is the affected file opened in MS Word 2000 showing the document with 15 pages as it should be.
Created attachment 89557 [details] THis is a screencap of the affected document in Libreoffice 4.1 THis is a screencap of the affected document in Libreoffice 4.1 showing that document as having 364 pages!! When this doc is opened in ms word 2000 it shows the true page number of 15 pages and all the table entries and text are as they should be.
Can you please provide a test document so this can be tested against and subsequently be confirmed. If your document contains sensitive data, please clear that or replace it with random information. Setting to NEEDINFO until more detail is provided. After providing the requested info, please reset this bug to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks :)
Created attachment 89693 [details] Affected document This is a copy of the offending document, there is nothing on it that identifies me, but it is the one that i have having problems with.
reseting to UNCONFIRMED status as requested
Test document is crashing LO badly in Ubuntu 13.10 (4.1.3.2) and OS X 10.9 latest nightly. Test doc file does open fine with Word 2011 on OS X. Setting OS to ALL and bug to NEW. Let's hope a dev can look into this soon.
When i tried to load the document in LO i had to wait roughly 10mins before it would display it, but it loads perfectly in word 2000.

As far as i can tell, this bug has not resurfaced on any new documents created with Libreoffice Writer (currently 4.2.7)(Ubuntu) Libreoffice has been updated a few times since this report was submitted, so perhaps one of those updates fixed it. Should the problem resurface again i will submit a new report.
