Maybe unusual but it is happening occasionally in Writer 
(interoffice-writer-4.0.3.3.3-1.1.x86_64).

System document was opened on is a Win7 system.

In my case it was a .odt document with some defined form fields. The 
.doc version would not allow input in the form field areas. If saved as 
.docx the whole document was offset, missing parts, graphics miss placed 
on etc. 

See signiture below for my config.
