Fortunately the one doc I really need opened in LO. I'm going to make a copy of it, and as soon is feasible get rid of it altogether.
According to your screenshot, "Open With" is already defined as LibreOffice Writer. It uses a different view from Ubuntu 12.04, so I have attached a screenshot of how Ubuntu 12.04 shows file Properties. In your screenshot, Open with is not a new tab, it is just a dropdown list that shows the focus on the default.

I'm a little nervous about LO now because I, coming over from Windows, do have a lot of .doc files. I'm hoping they'll be okay opening in LO and such. We'll see.
.doc opens perfectly fine in LibreOffice in my experience.
