Please see: <http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.general/57343> [Problem with the Open Office Text Processing} which I picked up from the OOo General list, that displays similar issues with a .docx file. Only in this case the file crashes with OOo-Dev (and all LO versions). OOo 3.3.0 OOO330m20 (build:9567) opens the file, but omits the reference page.
