It is in archive not binary (.doc) format. Change the extension to .docx and it opens fine in 4.0 This suggests that AOO is only relying on the file extension to determine which filter to use instead of analysing the file header. I propose a bug report (RFE?) to fix this, plus a bug report to fix the infinite loop if the user answers "No" in the "Repair" dialog.
