There is a form of single TIFF file that has multiple images, each for one
page, for a scanned document.  This is usually a TIFF/F holding all the
pages of a Fax transmission.

The question is how does AOO import one of those.

TENTATIVE RESPONSE:

Subra, this is probably not anything OpenOffice was designed for.  The
design point is to support import of graphical images in TIFF format, not
multi-page FAX documents.  You can see that in the OpenOffice 3.3 behavior.
You might look for TIFF utilities that will take apart one of those into
separate TIFF files or maybe into a Word document that you could then
process further in OpenOffice.

If you want a clear confirmation of support-or-not, either provide a
multi-page TIFF as an attachment on a Bugzilla issue or install the latest
version of Apache OpenOffice and satisfy yourself whether it works or not.
(Attachments don't work on mail to this list.)
