Blank Pleading Document

A legal pleading document (.odt, .doc .docx) will load in correctly, but when again saved after editing as a (.doc or .docx) file, it strips the line numbering off the left hand side. Files have to be saved as a (.doc or .docx) file for compatibility with attorney(s) word processor(s). I have included a blank pleading in .odt format. Also after the save, you cannot access the header or footer on the document again.

doc test file, saved using msWord 2007

For creating this file, I opened first attachment, moved frame on left of page (with numbers) from header to page itself using Writer, then saved to DOC. Then in msWord moved this frame again to header and saved.

Thanks for bugreport. 
Reproduced in 3.3.4 and 3.5.4 on Fedora 64 bit (Windows not tested).
It is FILESAVE problem. When document contains frame, anchored to header, this frame is thrown away when saving to DOC format.

What is interesting: when open second attachment by Writer 3.5.4, edit and save again to DOC format, it saves correctly.

msWord 2007 opens first attachment (odt) without frame on left of page

Format docx not tested, because functionality to save to it is experimental now. Not expected that it will work correctly now. 

Changing version to 3.3.4 as most early reproduced
