            Bug ID: 93776
           Summary: Import of Word Doc formatting errors with text box
                    locations
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.3.7.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Congratulations on the progress so far with msword documents, it has come a
long way. 

This Microsoft Word Document is supplied by Energysafety New Zealand for all
Electricians to use to certify electrical work in New Zealand. It is supplied
both as a DOC and as a PDF which means even someone without Word can see what
the document should be looking like.

While there are couple of bugs with Libreoffice preventing non technical
electicans using this document, this bug is about the spacing above the first
line of text:
"ELECTRICAL CERTIFICATE OF COMPIANCE & ELECTRICAL SAFETY CERTIFICATE"

MSWORD 1mm
LibreOffice 8mm.

This issue combined with box sizing spacing causes the document to spread over
two pages as can be seen when comparing the PDF with the DOC. 

Document not attached them as I am not the author and cannot approve a change
in license. However they are provided for anyone in New Zealand and I have
managed to find no restrictions documented on the website.

There are two examples as shown here:

The Word DOC file in question (85kb):
http://www.energysafety.govt.nz/documents/forms/certification/Electrical-Combined-ESC-CoC-.doc
The pdf file link (1.2Mb)
http://www.energysafety.govt.nz/documents/forms/certification/Electrical-combined-ESC-CoC.pdf

The issue is seen when saving both as "Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP/2003" and as
ODF
