I confirm that Attachment 84767 (B03671_02_2d_SFL copy.odt) fails to open with
Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2 running on Windows 10.  However, the file does open in
Microsoft Word 2016 without complaint.  That is how I can determine that it is
Chapter 2 of what appears to be the text of a programming book.  

This appears to be a peculiar case of AOO writing a document that it cannot
itself read.  I cannot determine how much of the document is presented by Word
2016.

The .odt file has a complex structure involving embedded subdocuments. It
deserves further exploration.

The workaround for these situations is to save the .docx as an .odt *before*
any editing, while one has the opportunity to see whether there is any loss of
fidelity before going farther.  

That does not alter the fact that there is a confirmed problem here.
