text-image_word2003.pdf: how it looks in MS Office 2003

I'd probably flag this as notabug. The document is DESIGNED to have the text flow optimally, which implies that if there is room, the text should go beside. Microsoft Office wraps the text around too - thus it makes sense that LO should do the same. If there is any bug here, it is the difference in how the wrapping is taking place. This should be checked with Word 2013 as well, for recent confirmation (and also see how Word handles the original .odt).

Comment 9 NISZ LibreOffice Team 2020-12-16 15:24:18 UTC
This image is horizontally positioned as "Center" to "Paragraph area" and with optimal wrap.
This is similar to the example file in bug #124059 - the image of the shopping cart has the same settings.

Now to reproduce the original layout in docx you need to set it as No wrap (Writer) / Below&above (in Word). 

Setting "No Wrap" does not change the layout in Writer, but retains it after saving to docx when it is then reopened in Word (tested with my 2013) and Writer.

Comment 13 NISZ LibreOffice Team 2020-12-17 09:02:15 UTC
Just checked the images in bug #117611 - those are also centered to paragraph, with optimal wrap. 
Setting no wrap in docx restores the intended layout for those too.

There is however a bit more spacing between the image and the text in that mode, as seen on the previous attachment #168233 [details] . 
That causes some layout difference with the example in bug #124059, making paragraphs at the bottom of the first page wrap to the next page.
Comment 14 NISZ LibreOffice Team 2021-07-13 16:04:04 UTC
Playing a bit with resizing the image horizontally, it seems that in odt there is no wrap if the horizontal space between the image and the page margin is less than 2 cm, but in docx this magic value is 1 cm.

Word on the other hand measures whether the space between the image and the page margin is enough to fit the actual text - so in the same space the wrap will happen (or not) differently for text like "x x x x x x x x" and "xxxx xxxx" and "xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx".

It's way worse than just switching up wrap options on export :(.

odt does not wrap below 2 cm spacing, docx does not wrap below 1 cm - but it does between 1 and 2.

The Word example file

For the first image there is about 1 cm on the left, but xxxxx does not fit, so no wrap.
For the second image there is the same 1 cm on the left but words around it are shorter "xx" so they fit and wrap the image.
For the third image there is 2 cm space to the margin but the words around it are even longer than that so there is no wrap.
