When I send my CV out to some people it is common that they complain that they cannot open it.

I can open it with LibreOffice Writer v4.4.3.2, however, other people cannot open the attachment, although they do not quite state which software they are using.

Europass CV information at https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/pt/documents/curriculum-vitae, this is where I originally downloaded the template.

please get information about the exact software version they use and which cannot open your CV.

as a workaround, what about sending it as PDF?

MSO 2013 opens it fine. Even the header image is displayed intact, while in LibO, it has a white rectangle going over it!

As MSO displays it better than LibO, I'm tempted to set this as NOTOURBUG. The software these other people are using is apparently not MSO and is thus evidently lacking in the interoperability department.

I'll set to NEEDINFO, while we wait for the software information.

Win 8.1 32-bit MSO 2013
Version: 5.0.0.2
Build ID: a26d58f11b99b6aeddf7f7884effea188cc6e512

we should file a separate bug report about this issue in LibO.

I input some test data in Europass and downloaded all those formats.

If I open the .odt file in LibO and save to .docx, I don't get the white rectangle over the header image.

If I open the .doc file in LibO and save to .docx, I get the white rectangle over the header image.

The white rectangle appears to be a highlight in the style for the paragraph.

However, we don't know, what kind of engine Europass uses. Is it actual MSO tech?

I guess I can make a new report for the .doc -> .docx thing.
