More or less reproducible with parallel installation of Master "LOdev "
3.7.0.0.alpha0+   - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) ENGLISH UI [Build ID: 66e4540]"
(tinderbox:Win-x86 at 6, pull time 2012-07-26 02:09:47)    

1. Open reporter's sample
2. Save as .odt
3. close
4. Reopen
5. Save as .cocx (Office Open)
6. close
7. Open with MS WORD Viewer
   Bug: Can't be opened, meaningless Error Message "Error opening Document"

A problem with this (currently) exotic file format is not a blocker.
As long as there is not a realistic chance to get a bug fixed it's not useful
to mark it as a MAB. Currently here too much info is missing.

It seems I can also reproduce that problem with 3.3.3, at least the created
document can not be opened with MS WORD Viewer.

a) For me the problem also is reproducible when I export a document reduced to
page 1 of reporter's sample.

also following steps did not heal the problem:
b) deleting Drawing elements on first page
c) deleting remaining 2 footnotes on page 1
d) deleting a drawing behind TOC
e) Deleting TOC
f) deleting hyplerlinks text from damaged TOC

With some further steps I created a completely empty document, but MS SV was
not able to open it.

Currently I see this one as WONTFIX, it is hopeless to try to fix something for
a document with such unclear history.

@ape:
Thank you for your report – unfortunately important information is missing.
May be hints on <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport> will help you to
find out what information will be useful to reproduce your problem? 
Please:
- Write a meaningful Summary describing exactly what the problem is
- Attach a sample odt. source document or refer to an existing 
  sample document in an other Bug with a link. LibO opens a rather damaged 
  document version from the .odx, and damages become worse with any new 
  save - reopen. So we can not do anything without that source document
– if possible contribute an instruction how to create a sample document 
  from the scratch
- add information (if available)
  -- what EXACTLY is unexpected / wrong
  -- and WHY do you believe it's unexpected (Wrong SML code, cite 
     Specification Help or Documentation!)
  -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language)
   -- concerning your LibO version (with Build ID if it's not a public release)
     and localization (UI language, Locale setting)
  -- everything else crossing your mind after you read linked texts

I am afraid it would be wasted time to submit bugs related to this document,
time would be invested better with creating a new .odt from the scratch and
checking for .docx export bugs.
