Description Patrick Georgi 2015-09-09 16:59:28 UTC
I got the file by an acquaintance (and got permission to publish it) who reports that it was created by LibreOffice 4.5 on Windows.

He tried to re-open it on 4.5, I tried to open it on LibreOffice 4.4.2 on Ubuntu as well as 5.0.1 on Windows, but in all instances it hangs Writer without even showing the first page.

He also reported that OpenOffice can open it.
I tested that Windows 8.1's Wordpad can open it, but with the usual distortions because it only supports a subset of the OOXML features.

I confirm hanging at fileopen under Win8.1 x64 using LibO 4.4.5.2 and a recent 5.1.0.0 daily build

repro 7.3+ that looks like the screenshot in comment 6.

MS Word 2016 struggles with this document. It gave an error and failed to export to PDF. Looking at the page size (Layout - Page), the dialog indicates that the page size is invalid - too large.

Since there has been little interest in this for a very long time, the document was created by an old LO, and it has invalid sizes, I'll close as INVALID.
