Your error is Caused by: net.sf.jooreports.openoffice.connection.OpenOfficeException: conversion failed; com.sun.star.frame.IllegalArgumentIOException:
It seems open office cann't open that file ,may be the file is damaged or has a error extension name which cause openoffice treat it as an illegal argument.
Please check the file that cause the error.

I tried to rename the file to 1.doc and without open it, just rename it, the file is well converted and the preview work without problem.

I really don't understand what is going on with the conversion process on Alfresco.

On Windows "server" (on Windows in general) there are path limits that can interfere with conversions. See MNT-14437
