Some months ago, I found something unusual - and for me unexplained. Take an odt file made under LO. Save, open the odt with Word 2013. Make some trifle changes. Save as an odt. Everything loooks normal (the style of your titles may have changed).

Now with this odt;, convert to EPUB3 using ODTImport (or writer2xhtml). You'll find in the body of the EPUB stylesheet a letter-spacing property (values of 1px or 1.33px). There is only one explanation: this property has been unilaterally added by Word...

With odt files coming straight from LO, you'll never find this letter-spacing property (except of course if you deliberately put it inside).
That must be something that Word uses in its ODT filter then, as I never see this it all.
