3) What is expected to happen is when one opens attached file at the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/710812/+attachment/1820157/+files/try_bad_in_OpenOfficeWriter.docx && lowriter -nologo try_bad_in_OpenOfficeWriter.docx

it looks as it would in Abiword or Microsoft Office Word Viewer 2003.

4) What happened instead is the document opens in portrait with OpenOffice Writer & LibreOffice Writer, with the tables spilling out of the page horizontally.

WORKAROUND: Open in Abiword or Microsoft Office Word Viewer 2003 via WINE sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa && sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install wine1.2

This is also an issue with LibreOffice, so marked libreoffice as affected.

Rick J.P., I am closing the bug task for LibreOffice as it has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Oneiric Ocelot.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

[This is an automated message.]
There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
