if the format below isnt suitable, then i'll work harder to submit more 
bugs.

Allof the bugs that i report are pretty much limited to opening the 
original .docx file, opening the microsoft compatibility pack converted 
.doc file, saving the .docx file in various formats in different word 
processors, open up the various formats in the word processor it was 
created with, and opening up the various formats in other word 
processors. With your previous instructions, i could easily convert my 
tweets into the following (i skipped the ones already sent as bug reports).

Bugs for opening .docx file located at < http://bit.ly/QBBwfV >
1. page 2: number list has incorrect font style [tested on 3.6+] - 
http://img.ly/yEH3 (note: saving the file as a odf or doc shows the 
style correctly, so the data is there but its not showing it)

Bugs for opening .doc version of the .docx converted with microsoft 
compatibility pack
1. page 1: text in document title is position incorrectly due to 
table[regression since 4.1] - http://img.ly/yEHe
2. every page: a purple line appears as header border[regression since 
4.1] - http://img.ly/yEIY
3. page 8: table width is not constant [tested on 4.0+] - http://img.ly/yEH7

Save .docx into docx/odf 1.1 formats in LibO and bugs for reopening 
these saved files
1. odf 1.1 - all pages with lists: file losses indentation for numbered 
and bullet lists [tested on 4.0+]
2. odf 1.1 - page 3: many paragraphs not retaining the 'dont add the 
space between paragraphs of the same type'[tested on 4.0+]
3. docx - page 1: document heading table doesnt retain background 
transparency, instead saved as white [tested on 4.0/4.1] - 
http://img.ly/yFye (note: couldnt test on 4.2 as it crashes when trying 
to save it)

Save .docx into docx/doc/rtf formats in Kingsoft Writer and bugs for 
reopening these saved files in LibO
1. doc - page 2: font size of numbered lists is incorrect and bullet 
list character font opened as Liberation Serif U+FB01 rather than 
Windings 3 U+F084 [tested on 3.6+]
2. docx - page 1: document title table appearing behind image as image 
wrap set to 'wrap through' rather than 'background' [tested on 4.0+]
3. rtf - all pages: document styles not imported in correctly resulting 
in large bullet list text [tested on 4.1+] (note: earlier version of 
LibO cant open it)
4. rtf - page 3: number list numbers appearing like '10!br0ken!!' rather 
than '1.'
5. rtf - every page: a purple line appears as header border

this saved file in LibO
1. page 1: microsoft title image missing [tested on 3.6+]
2. page 7: tables are loaded crushed flat with 1 character per line 
[tested on 3.6+]

Save .docx into doc/odt in Word 2010 and bugs for reopening these saved 
files in LibO
1. odt - page 6: the number list entry is '1' rather than '2' (note: 
this might possibly be due to microsoft implementation of odf)
2. rtf - all pages: most russian characters have turned into ascii 
[regression in 4.2]
3. rtf - all pages: bullet list character incorrect [tested on 4.1+]

I would be glad to be included as a CC to a bug if there would need to 
be any follow ups, if that would help.
