@roger64 - they are not my ODT's, I download them from institutions and academia etc. I have no idea how they are produced. When I import ODT's into Word one the first things I do is apply one of my of existing Word templates. I then set all the paragraphs to the relevant template style.
Rather than me sending you an ODT, why don't you send me a small ODT that has the problems you speak of with Word 2013. I'll have a look in 2010 and then we should know if it's a problem specific to Word 2013, or all recent versions of Word or something else - like the ODT file.
I have to say this: most problems of this sort come from users who don't know how to use Word. I've never seen the 'cruft' that many people complain about (e.g. MSoNormal) when they convert Word documents, including when I was converting Filtered HTML. The major reason for the cruft is that they use inline styling (paragraph, font, text effects etc) rather styles defined in a Word template - which is a corollary to not using linked styles in HTML/CSS. I avoid in-line style, especially paragraph, like the plague.
I wonder if something similar is happening here, if the ODT was created using lots of inline styling rather than OTT styles, then Word is creating lots of the same 'cruft' in the DOCX as it does when someone does all their styling in-line rather than using its native template styles. I've some across people who attach elaborate style sheets, and then do all their styling in line.
But I'm puzzled - what can Word do typographically that can't be done in Writer, or more to the point in the calbre-editor or Sigil.
