Bug Description

in *.doc files prepared with word are sometimes elements not showing when opening and printing with openoffice. here an example of a case with boxes, which show in word (see pdf) but not in openoffice.doc. (i will attach)

a similar case seems to be with endnot annotations. the endonote marks in text do not show and the references at the end neither. if you need example files, please ask!

in this case, the information was in the boxes (i.e. the relevant entry
is boxed, the others are just there unboxed.

endnote - relevant information is not visible (e.g. the list of references).
do you need an example?

I am thinking I have the same problem. Our counter-partner sent to us an agreement, where I found some strange referral links to paragraphs. They does not contained text, even does not contained spaces. I can see only grey field of references. I attached an archive with agreement where I found that. It is Cyrillic, but I am thinking it is an international problem...No, problem of Microsoft Doc compatibility....
