@mfm-ca - rather than adding word template settings selectively to the DOCX Output preferences settings, a better solution might be to put the template (DOTX) calibre uses into the [. . .]\Calibre2\resources\templates folder.
Then one could copy it to the resources/templates folder in calibre's configuration directory, make it writeable, and modify to suit one's individual needs. This approach is known as using 'resource overrides', there's a para or two about in the calibre FAQ
If present, the DOCX Output plugin would use the override DOTX, otherwise it would use the one in \Calibre2\resources\templates.
FWIW : when I want to get something into Word (I go the other way 10-20 times a day) I convert to RTF. I get a more consistent result by going to RTF than going straight to DOCX-- 'consistent' is my watchword for most things, invariably trumps wasting time seeking perfection.
The first things I do to an RTF are: attach one of my own Word templates: strip/replace embellishments, strip out superfluous whitespace and new lines and then save as DOCX. I remove the RTF once I have a decent DOCX.
I've been using RTF as the route to DOCX since well before Kovid developed the DOCX Input/Output plugins, and I've been using most the macros for 10-20 years. So, I've never even bothered to wonder why going straight to DOCX doesn't seem to suit me. It could well be the template that's attached to the DOCX.
