Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Open an MSOffice Word 2002 SP3 template (.dot) with OpenOffice Text

OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 Text Writer
OOO300m15 (Build 9379)
openoffice.org-core 1:3.0.1-1ubuntu1intrepid1, Fri Jan 30 17:50:52 UTC 20

Use the template : add text, some pictures

Save the document as MSOffice 97/2000/XP
At this time the document seens OK

Re-open the saved MS Office document in OpenOffice 3 (above release) : 
a) trouble displaying the tables for the 2 first pages
b) space between paragraph number and text for <Titre 1> style (and ithe title 
styles also) has changed (text moved from 0,75 cm to 6 cm + tab has been moved 
to 5.25 cm to 6 cm

At this step then document form has chaned but still can be used in OpenOffice
Openning thig document in MS Word 2002 SP3 however makes the document cannot be 
used :
- number of pages moves from 6 to 112 (approximatly 1 ligne per page !)

Found workarround: saved the document as RTF. Some formatting also lost
but usable in MSOffice

Added some attachement to show what appends (1 zip archive file)
- CROfficeTemplate.dot = original MSOffice Template
- CRooo3doc_asMS97.doc = saved as MS Word 97/2000/XP (never openned in MS Word 
at this step)
- CRooo3doc_asRTF.rtf = saved as RTF (seems to be acceptable workarround)
- oo3_about.jpg = screen copy of my openOffice version (included in documents)
