Hi Eric,
those who use LibreOffice should check the following settings in
LibreOffice:
Tools > Options > Load/Save > General ODF-format version
try 1.2 Extended (compatibility mode)
or compare with someone for whom it works.
and than have a look at:
Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Compatibility
compare with someone for whom it works.
Good luck!
Freundliche Grüße
Harald

I'm in a writers' critique group who distribute our monthly
submissions in .doc format for the sake of a member who doesn't think
his system can handle .docx. (But that's a different issue.)
One of our members composes his submission in LO Writer and saves as
.doc (which several of us do). But for some reason some of us are
having trouble opening that person's submissions in M$ Word (although
they open fine in LO Writer). Yet the member who just uses Word is not
having trouble opening the .doc file. (I suspect he has an older
version of Word, but it's hard to get that information from him.)
When I create a .doc file in LO Writer, I don't have trouble opening
it in Word.
The member whose .doc files we can't open tells me he's using Libra
Office 24.2 on Windows. (I assume he means LibreOffice.) It appears
that's a later version than the 7.3 I'm using on Windows.
So is this maybe a bug in 24.2?
