I have encountered a number of issues while importing a Word 2000 document. I
have attached a Word document and its OO counterpart that demonstrates each of
these issues clearly. What follows here is a summary that is also found inside
the OO document.

Please refer to the OO document to see exactly how the issues appear. 

#1: the issue number is a document variable in the Word document. I understand
OO does not support such variables, but having to go through the document and
updating every single occurrence of the issue number (as well as a host of other
variables) is hardly an option.

#2: this line does not exist in the original Word document, at least for Word
2000. However, I have noticed other Word versions (at a customer site; sorry, I
do not recall which version they are using) getting this line wrong too. 

#3: the section name is concatenated with the section number. It is readable,
but ugly.

#4: the extra chapter 3 is not present in the original document. My guess is
that an empty line exists that happens to have the “chapter” style applied,
which OO translates into a “real” chapter.

#5: this block was supposed to be on the previous page. 

#6: the text on this line is not present in the original. Could be a hidden
field, maybe, but I haven't managed to reveal it in Word.

#7: the table number looks different. The original is numbered 1.2-1; here, the
section number is repeated to make 1.2-1.2.1.

#8: although the document variable from which this section is created was
changed to a different value, this still reflects the original value. However,
if I load the text into Word I see exactly the same thing. This is still
problematic because in Word I can press a single button to update it, whereas in
OO I cannot.
