I was wondering on thing though - are you forced to use .docx or are you 
able to use .doc as the document's format?  I see that .doc is a 
supported format.Since the .docx format can be an issue even between MS 
Office and LO for the more complex documents, you might rather use .doc 
if available to use.

I always ask for that format when dealing with a MSO user.  I just do 
not like theMSO OOXML formats, like .docx.

I have not tried to install that package on a Nook [Android] before, 
since I prefer to have free software untilI know that I would use it 
enough to be worth the price.  I will look into it, though, since there 
is a trial version.

So try saving your document as a .doc file and see if that stops the 
problem.  Since Gorden did not have problems, then I really believe it 
has something to do with your document.

Have you created a document in LibreOffice 4.0.4 and saved it in a .docx 
format, then opened it in your Android OfficeSuite Pro 7 package?

I still say .doc would be the better format, though.
