Files have been dutifully transmitted.

I must give full credits to BetterRed for showing me the solution for the letter-spacing. In my Word font - advanced settings (see two joint screenshots), there was indeed a kerning (crénage) value (see the green rectangle).

It acted in a devious way: the appearance of the odt file was not modified. This kerning value was somewhat "buried" within the xml substrate of the odt file. It only appeared when I exported to EPUB, when the converter picked it up.

For what it's worth, I also provide the other font settings. I use a customised font named LinLibertineG30.

So, we have two items explained: letter-spacing (my mistake), image relative width (Word's weakness). Two are still in waiting mode:
1. the ubiquitous presence of the span "Policepardfaut"
2. how to force Word to apply the original odt styles for titles and notes?
