Description watersrw 2005-01-16 16:55:36 UTC 
The word document looks fine in MS Word, but the graphical object on page 11 is
obsuring text - it shuld be absolutly positioned on the next page - looks fine
in MS Word. Plenty of other graphical objects out of alignment in the document.
See pages 11 and 20, for example. Note page 20-21 also show textual defects (the
invalid character boxes in the text box).

Problem regarding graphical objects obscuring text is tracked as issue 32175. As
a workaround you could select the object(s) and set the "Anchor" manually to "as
character". I will change the summary of the issue according tothe second problem.

MRU->MMAHER: take my (to be) attached sample of the mentioned file. There you
can see, that when imported into Writer, the row breaks in the tables are
displayed as "square" character. The tables are inserted in grouped drawing
textboxes, thus they cannot be imported as tables in Writer.

I can see the same failure in attachment with the open office 1.1.4 and windows XP. 

But after I try to create a new file same as the attachment in MS word,I open
the file with OOo1.1.4, table is displayed correctly and row break isn't
replaced  by "square" character.The following is the steps how I create a new
file by using MS word:
  1.From "Insert – Text box", insert a text box in a new document
  2.From "Table – Insert – Table", insert a table into the text box.
  3.Insert another text box in the same page, then insert a table to this text
    box.
  4.Save this file as .doc file and then open it in the OpenOffice1.1.4 

So, it seems row break of table in the text box that is import from MS word file
does't always show as "square" character, it is just sometimes.
