Nor me. I convert several ODTs every week to DOCX via Word 2010 and thence to ePub via calibre's DOCX->EPUB convert, or via Sigil's DOCX plugin (Mammoth). I suppose Word 2013 may use a different ODT filter.

Or maybe the Word template that's being applied has the Font Character Spacing set 'abnormally' in one or more styles. I always explicitly apply one of my own templates.

I just tweaked Font->Advanced->Character spacing to Expanded by .1pt in one of my template's Normal style. Then did a calibre convert, and I got 'letter-spacing' items in the css styles that originate from word styles that are based on the Normal style (which was most of them).

It's easy to screw up a Word template; tick one or two wrong boxes, in the wrong order, forget to set a radio button, and you're likely end up with upside down, mirror image, Katakana text - they're a minefield, full of dragons and hobgoblins
