complex .docx document with lots of formatting issues when opened in LO

With every new version of OO first and then LO I've been testing how my 2009 docx PhD thesis looked. Back in the day the formatting problems were horrendous. Now it is more bearable but still a long shot from perfect interoperativity.

I am not sure if this may be of help but decided to attach the document as an example of a real world complex docx file in which it becomes impossible to work switching from MS Office and LO, something necessary in collaborative environments as academia.

Hopefully it can be used as a test-case to help nail down all the formatting bugs existent.

To replicate, simply open the file in MS Office 2007 and then in LO 4.2. Most problems are focused on figures not showing, text frames now showing all the content (e.g. search for "Cuadro 2"), etc.

If needed I can try to list the formatting problems thoroughly.

Because of the problems the page number are the pages on libreoffice.
Problems that I have found:

-Text box is wrong on page 38, 46, 48, 75, 80, 81, 83, 86, 101, 105, 109, 120, 124, 145, 147
-on page 56,62, 67, 88, 95/96 the white/not filled dots are placed wrong
