There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix  

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project
Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that
has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to
allow cross pollination.

Title:
  [upstream] Writer hangs indefinitely opening MS Word .doc

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:

Status in “abiword” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:        Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:        11.04

  2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
  libreoffice-writer:
    Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
    Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-proposed/main i386
  Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages

  3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/401003/+attachment/630609/+files/MS%20Office%20XP%20document.doc
  && lowriter -nologo MS\ Office\ XP\ document.doc

  and it opens quickly and successfully.

  4) What happens instead is Writer hangs indefinitely.

  WORKAROUND: Use Abiword.

  apt-cache policy abiword
  abiword:
    Installed: 2.8.6-0.3build1
    Candidate: 2.8.6-0.3build1
    Version table:
   *** 2.8.6-0.3build1 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/universe i386 Packages
  100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Original Report Comments: OOo Writer grey screens and CPU usage jumps
  up. The running Writer then has to be killed. This happens under
  Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit with OO 3.0.1 (build 9379).
