I was able to open and display the file only on office.live.com. No
Linux-based software (LO, OOo, Abiword, Kword) could handle it. Here
is the OOo bug, as the LO bugtracker is not working at the moment:

Using LibreOffice 3.3.1 OOO330m19 (Build:8) tag libreoffice-3.3.1.2 on
Vista Home premium.
If I try to open file from Libo, I get the blank docx as described.
If I open the file by double clicking from windows explorer, the file
will open as a read-only document with a name: Wd0000004.doc in my temp
folder.
This scenario seems familiar from the OOo lists.

I'm impressed by all the comment on a not very important file. I don't
know if the originators (my acquaintances) did what some thought namely
putting all information within a text-box but I doubt it as they are not
very computer literate.
Dotan, its interesting that you could read it with office.live.com.
I tried the site but I have to do something very scary: to get a windows
id and give my credentials to MS$! That is too much for me. If a
commercial robber gives you something for free than you're sure you'll
get screwed. I admire your courage but as a private person I will stay
on the safe side. The only MS$ products I use(d) are those that were
sold together with afew laptops as it was practically impossible to buy
one without the MS$ OS. To be honest I use it in a virtual environment
as I have 2 professional programs that only will run in that environment.
Tom and Gordon, from your comment I get the impression that it is a bug
in LO as LO will not display images and text placed in a text box I will
look into it as I agree with others that it is not important how weird
people construct their documents. If some construction is not allowed,
the user should be warned.
A remain very interested in the discussion.
