The only thing I need to do is edit a few image CSS and fix chapter tags (not the CSS).
I get epub2s and azw3 that look very like the original odt (done on a small page with no headers or footers).
I spent untold hours trying to get that docx save and convert thing working, but could never get the headers to behave, and there were always css things to fix. Maybe just my system and versions of things, I don't know. Just happy now to have a Writer odt file solution that works for me.
