  3) What is expected to happen using LibreOffice Writer or AbiWord via
  the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/555843/+attachment/1278360/+files/Ticket%20Format.doc
  && lowriter -nologo Ticket\ Format.doc

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/555843/+attachment/1278360/+files/Ticket%20Format.doc
  && abiword Ticket\ Format.doc

  is the numbers in the text box look the same as it does in Word or in
  attached Word exported PDF via Evince:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/555843/+attachment/1278362/+files/Microsoft%20Word%20-%20ticket.pdf

  4)
  LibreOffice:
  What happens instead in LibreOffice Writer is the numbers in the text box next to the word Sample are replaced with a red triangle.

  WORKAROUND: Expand the right side of the text box to reveal the
  numbers and the red triangle disappears.

  WORKAROUND: Highlight the text box -> click Format -> Frame/Object...
  -> Borders tab -> under Spacing to contents uncheck Synchronize
  checkbox -> change the Left and Right combo boxes to 0.08" -> OK
  button

  4)
  AbiWord:
  What happens instead in AbiWord is the majority of the words are gone with the shapes replaced with empty boxes.

  Original Reporter Comments: I will attach a .doc and a pdf from a win
  xp machine
