I see, I was able to reproduce it after making a few tests. Let me
investigate this further.

Scenarios that work (for me)
-------------------------

OpenOffice 3.3 RC8 + LibO 3.3 RC2 = Works
OpenOffice 3.2.1 final + LibO 3.3 RC2 = Works

Scenarios that don't work (for me)
--------------------------------

Microsoft Office 2007 + OpenOffice 3.2.1 final + LibO 3.3 RC2 = Doesn't work
Microsoft Office 2007 + LibO 3.3 RC2 + OpenOffice 3.2.1 final = Doesn't work
Microsoft Office 2007 + LibO 3.3 RC2 + OpenOffice 3.3 RC8 = Doesn't work
Microsoft Office 2007 + OpenOffice 3.3 RC8 + LibO 3.3 RC2 = Doesn't work
LibO 3.3 RC2 + OpenOffice 3.2.1 final = Doesn't work
LibO 3.3 RC2 + OpenOffice 3.3 RC8 = Doesn't work
