As a workaround for this issue I inserted a paragraph before the table
and formatted the text in the paragraph as hidden. Then tried to use
Select All. It selects all text only if the hidden text is visible,
which is enabled in Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Formatting
Aids > Display of Hidden text. If that option is not enabled the Select
All selects only the table, which is strange (another bug?).

Title:
  [Upstream] [hardy] Writer "Select All" only highlights table in  .doc

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  In Progress
Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  1)  lsb_release -rd
  Description:  Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:      11.04

  2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
  libreoffice-writer:
    Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
    Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 
Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages

  3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/210686/+attachment/251817/+files/DocTemplate.doc
  && lowriter -nologo DocTemplate.doc

   (ctrl + A) or edit -> select all and the entire document is selected.

  4) What happens instead is it highlights the table but not the text.

  WORKAROUND: Use AbiWord.

  apt-cache policy abiword
  abiword:
    Installed: 2.8.6-0.3build1
    Candidate: 2.8.6-0.3build1
    Version table:
   *** 2.8.6-0.3build1 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/universe i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
