Word DOC that does not display correctly in LibreOffice.

The attached Word DOC, which appears to be in XP-2003 format, does not display correctly in LibreOffice (or OpenOffice). In MS Word, the document has a total of 21 pages. In LibreOffice, only the first 2 pages show up. This was also a problem that occurred in OpenOffice 3.3. Trying to resolve the issue is what prompted the switch to LibreOffice. The document is essentially one giant table, which I gather may be the source of the issue.
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.0.4.2 release

Interesting behavior. Testing on LO 4.1.0.2.0 and OS X 10.8.4 LO displays 19 pages whilst MS Word displays 21 pages. All content is there so nothing get's lost but the formatting is displayed differently.

This document imo has some strange formatting. It takes a while in both programs to load completely although it is "only" a table with some text. So this document might have some very odd formatting.

When comparing the opened documents already on the first page I notice that Word displays #15 as the last number and LO goes to #16. That explains why the doc only has 19 pages when opened in LO.

Setting to NEW. OS to ALL.
