Document which doesn't correctly export from OO Writer.

This issue is repeatable with all the ODTs I've written in the past decade.

Problem: exporting an ODT to Word97/2000/XP format creates a .doc file whose first two pages are unreadable by microsoft word.  The page theme is set to some background color.

Workaround (MS Word V16 MacOS): Select the text on the first two pages. On home Menu set, select shading icon and set color to white. Text will appear.

Steps to reproduce:
1 load attached ODT into OO Writer.
2 save-as Word97/2000/xp
3 open resulting .doc file with MS Word (I'm using V16 on MacOS).  Look at the first two pages and note you can't read the text on those pages.

I was not able to reproduce.
The .doc opens correctly with MS-Word online in OneDrive.
