Description: When placing a subscript in a text.docx its size and position are maintained while the file is open. Saving as file.odt maintains size and position of subscript. Saving as text.docx resets size to 100% and lowers by 6% for Automatic size choice, and size to 100% with the previously selected lower-value. Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a file like foo.docx file 2. write e.g. character V size 9 character (bold or not). ad a Subscript, say with size 66%, offset 33%, save and close the file. 3. On opening the subscript (may) changes to wrong size, e.g. 100% and 6%size 4. this pattern is not quite consistent: a Subscript may also appear as Superscript after a few repeated changes using Automatic. When selecting Subscript again it appears on the same baseline as the original letter. Actual Results: Cannot show this outside a DOCX file. Note: this does not happen with an ODT file. That type stays consistent. Expected Results: same as in an ODT file Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: keep sizes and positions of Sub/Superscripts as in the original DOCX file.
Created attachment 177692 [details] comparison of erroneous subscripts between ODT, DOCX, and PDF files Subscripts and Superscripts appeared correctly in opened DOCX and ODT files. Upon closing and re-opening them only ODT files maintained the correct index sizes and positions. Correct index sizes, however, were lost when inserting the PDF file, DERIVED from the ODT file, into another ODT file.

LO and MS Word use totally different concepts to format subscripts. So this it is total emulation hacking to convert from one to another. It is impossible to keep things exact, so best to just use all default/automatic values.
