Test case ODT

I am working on a book template in LibreOffice Writer. It has many styles. When I save it as ".docx", and look at it in MS Word 2016 on my MacBook Pro running macOS 10.15.7 many of the styles have all-tofu for their names.
I created a simple file using the default styles using LOW 7.0.3.1 and saved it as .docx. It too has a lot of tofu (white rectangles) for the names of the styles in the Styles Pane.  The files are attached.

Some, but not all, of the tofu-styles are ones I created.

Cannot confirm this with both files (exported on my own; opening directly in MSO)

But I'm on Windows 10 64bit 20H2.

Seems to be a bug in MSO for macOS.

I can confirm that the odt saved as docx and then opened in Word 16.58 (2019 edition) shows blank squares in the style names

If I open the docx on LO, the styles show correctly

Ok, so this is not a macOS bug. But it shows up in MS Office for mac :)

The style pane in MS office for mac has a lot of squares in the style

Still present
