As I already said that is not the case... Now he have the problem on how to
get out of the mess this bug caused... Let's try.

 When I open a Word (.doc) document which is produced on a machine running XP 
 with office 2003. OpenOffice offers to save it default as ODF format (.odt). 
 When I 
 choose explicitely for 97/2000/XP format the error occurs..
 
 1. When the format Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)  is chosen, I receive the message 
 some formats cannot be saved in Word 6.0 format. Either this is the wrong 
 error message, or the wrong output filter.

The latter as it turned out. See e.g.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/452518
I'll add the patch for the next upload.

 2. The file suffix .doc is not added altough the box automatic file name 
 extension is checked. No suffix at all is appended.

Already found out to be an other bug already reported and thus will be ignored
here.

 3. When the file is saved in this format (whatever the real format is, but 
 selected as 97/2000/XP) the file is heavily corrupted when opened again in 
 Word 
 2003. Artefacts occur like:
 - Tables have disappeared and are shown as the original contents interspersed 
 with unreadable characters
 - Some pieces of the text don't show up
 - Some pieces of the text show up repeatedly.
 
 This is no Office 2003 fault, when I re-open the just saved .doc on OOw the 
 same 
 thing happens.

This seems like a general Word 6.0 filter FAIL...

Splitting the bug, handling 1. in a own bug.

Grüße/Regards,

Rene

Wrong. Please follow bug report principles. 
Means: One bug in one report, look whether bugs already are reported.

 When I open a Word (.doc) document which is produced on a machine running XP 
 with office 2003. OpenOffice offers to save it default as ODF format (.odt). 
 When I

 some formats cannot be saved in Word 6.0 format. Either this is the wrong 
 error message, or the wrong output filter.

If it's the former, it sounds minor to me, not important. The latter
one is normal or  important, yes.

 2. The file suffix .doc is not added altough the box automatic file name 
 extension is checked. No suffix at all is appended.

This looks like #550758 if you use KDE4 and the KDE4 file picker.

 3. When the file is saved in this format (whatever the real format is, but 
 selected as 97/2000/XP) the file is heavily corrupted when opened again in 
 Word 
 2003. Artefacts occur like:

This sounds important, yes.
