After an upgrade of Openoffice from version 3.0.1 to 3.1.0, I observe a strange issue with the rendering of at least one MS Word file that I have never run into before. A test file with expected and actual rendering are attached.

Same happens to me on AMD64. I just upgraded from stable amd64 3.0.0 to ~amd64 3.1.0. Like in your case the tables don't render correctly. If necessary I'll add the attachments for correct and incorrect rendering as soon as I re-emerge openoffice-3.0.0.

I have experienced same rendering problems with disappearing tables, using 3.1.0 (~amd64). Openoffice 3.0.1 (for files I tried to open) doesn't exhibit the same erroneous behaviour. It seems to be a known or at least already reported bug(s): http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=101689 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=101661
I've found a quick fix on the Arch Linux forum: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=554351#p554351 Foe the lazy: 1. open the document 2. go to view -> navigator (or hit F5) This brings up a window that lists (among other things) all tables in the document 3. right click on a table, then select Table -> Edit 4. In the pop up window select the "Table" tab and either modify the width by a token amount or set left spacing to 0 5. click OK
I have found this on the OpenOffice site as well, it's a problem with x64 linux version and it's repaired in the 3.1.1. You can also go around the problem by saving the imported document as odt and then reopen it, all tables are correct then.
Fixed in 3.1.1, closing
