--- Comment #7 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
Hmm, here is an interesting twist.

Open attachment 119501 in MS Word 2007, and Save-as ODF .odt

Reopen in MS Word 2007 -- the result? In MS Word it has the same malformed
layout as seen in the LibreOffice flavors back to the opening release. I
checked back to 3.3.0.4.

So, beside MS handling the filter conversion to OpenDocument Text with the same
misformatting--the real issue seems to be with conversion positioning for the
graphic, and positioning for the table. 

With the .DOC open in Word 2007 (Format Picture -> Layout -> Advanced ->
Picture Position), the graphic has a Vertical absolute position -.37" below
Paragraph, and a "Move object with Text" check-box enabled. The "Paragraph"
seems to be the first of five--with the fifth holding the only text.

Also in Word 2007 the Table properties (Ribon Layout -> Table -> Properties:
Table Properties -> Table -> Positioning: Table Positioning dialog) show
Horizontal position Left relative to Margin. And Vertical position 2.5"
relative to **PAGE**. Overlap is allowed, but the "Move with text" is
unchecked.

When open in Word 2007 or in any LibreOffice build--either the MS Office saved
.ODT or LO filter opening of the .DOC--the graphic is anchored to a Character
(not Paragraph)--in first Paragraph. And the table is anchored to paragraph
(but which one?)--its position now is Horizontal -.08" from Left margin of Page
text area--while Vertical is set 2.50" from Top of Entire Page--with "Follow
text flow" unchecked. Interesting in Word 2007 that the Table Properties ->
Position Dialog is not available for .ODT Tables.

Someone more versed in our ww8 filter would need to comment, but to me this is
a really strangely formatted MS binary document! It is no wonder that MS Word
2007 and LibreOffice builds get strange results parsing for use in ODF. 

Not a regression, and rather a corner case. Is it even our bug?
