I observed the corruption bug to be reproducible ONLY when using the provided
file and maintaining the current format in Writer.

Environment:
Version        Apache OpenOffice Writer 4.1.2
OS        Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)
CPU        Intel i5 3570k @ 4.2 GHz
GPU        NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti
RAM        16 GB

Reproduction:
1. Download “original file” attachment
2. Open “Dienstreiseantrag_Cebit.doc” with Writer
3. Edit the document by adding/removing characters
4. Save the document
5. A dialog should appear, select “Keep Current Format”
6. Close the document
7. Open “Dienstreiseantrag_Cebit.doc” with Writer

Observation:
A dialog displaying “Read-Error. This is not a WinWord97 file.” appeared. The
file size was reduced from 117 KB to 52.5 KB and file corruption is visible
when opening with other text editors such as Word. 

Further Exploration:

Attempt 1:
I created a Microsoft Word 97 – 2003 Document (the same file format as the file
in question) to replicate the issue using the phrase:

“Die Reisekosten aus Haushaltsmitteln werden ausschließlich nach den
Bestimmungen des Landesreisekostengesetzes NRW (LRKG) bzw. den hausinternen
Vereinbarungen der BUW erstattet. Der Erstattungsanspruch ist verjährt, wenn
die Reisekostenabrechnung nicht spätestens innerhalb von 6 Monaten nach
Reiserückkehr Dezernat 4.1 vorgelegt wurde. Die Reisekosten aus Projektmitteln
werden nach den jeweiligen Bestimmungen des Drittmittelgebers erstatte” 

directly copy-pasted from the provided document. I then performed the same
process of modifying text, saving with “Keep Current Format”, and re-opening
the file. This attempt at reproduction did not produce the error observed with
the user’s document.

Attempt 2:
Next, I took the entire contents of “Dienstreiseantrag_Cebit.doc” and
copy-pasted the clipboard to a new Microsoft Word 97 – 2003 Document. Repeating
the same procedure outlined in the reproduction steps did not yield any errors.

The nature of this bug could corrupt the contents of older documents and must
be examined.
