Hi,
At site <https://www.carm.es/web/pagina?IDCONTENIDO=1680&IDTIPO=240&RASTRO=c345$m31 21,3317>, which is an official health administration page (Spain), I found two doc documents. One opens correctly, the other is terrible.

Saves as "7510-Anexos A2 y A3.doc".
LibreOffice in Leap does an horrible job.
Abiword does a bit better, but still unusable. It says the document contains revision data which it is ignoring; I don't inkow if that has something to do with the problems.
Caligra (in oS 13.1) does badly, too.
Even an online converter, .doc to .docx, does badly.
Even google docs can not open it to something readable. :-/
Carlos over last several days, you have managed to create huge amount of traffic on this mailing list, with very low ratio of useful information to noise, and even when somehow useful, most of your posts are misplaced. Bug reports belong to bugzilla, opensuse-factory is serves as platform to discuss development not to report petty issues with document rendering. As you are no newbie to openSUSE community, I believe that you should know better. In regard to this issue you reported, it is something that is most likely upstream issue of libreoffice, so it should likely go to libreoffice bugzilla not to this mailing list. As you yourself observed, most tools have difficulties rendering said document properly, so I doubt that issue is openSUSE specific, libreoffice specific, it might as well be document violating specification (or just difficult to render). Also I would appreciate if you would refrain from using statements as "does an horrible job" - it is strongly disrespectful to developers/maintainers - why don't you try fixing yourself instead of using such language? You are getting results of someone elses work for free, and even if it might not be perfect, it is rude to make such comments. Regards Martin Pluskal
