The attached Example.doc contains "SEQ ( \* ARABIC", which appears to violate
the MS-DOC spec. 
<http://interoperability.blob.core.windows.net/files/MS-DOC/[MS-DOC].pdf>
2.9.90 "flt" references [ECMA-376], and
<http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Office%20Open%20XML%201st%20edition%20Part%204%20(PDF).zip>
contains "Office Open XML Part 4 - Markup Language Reference.pdf", which, in
2.16.5.63 "SEQ", specifies the syntax

  SEQ identifier [ field-argument ] [ switches ]

and the requirement that "identifier shall start with a Latin letter and shall
consist of no more than 40 Latin letters, Arabic digits, and underscores."  An
identifier of "(" does not meet that requirement.

It appears to be a bug in MS Office 2003 that it allows the user to chose "("
as a name there.  It is not clear to me whether and how best to cater for such
documents in LO.
