The problem may be with Word 2007. ODF 1.2 extended was created
after Word 2007 so Word 2007 does not know how to handle the changes
made when the open document format went from ODF 1.1 to ODF 1.2
extended. There has been some comments on this mailing list earlier
about MS Office not handling ODF 1.2 extended.
Work around: open the document in OOo. Change the ODF setting.
(Tools > Options > Load/Save > General ) Then use save As to save the
document as ODF 1.0/1.1.
