DOCX file where the problem occurs

Open the attached DOCX file. It's a template for an academic conference.

In MS Word it opens OK but when I open it in LO Writer the text is imported as subscripted for no apparent reason.

This import issue happens both in 7.3 and 7.4 from master.

System info:

Comment 3 Regina Henschel 2022-05-20 22:22:19 UTC 
Reason is the font setting "lowered by 0.5pt" in Word. Inside Word modify the Paragraph style "Normal". In that dialog open the "Format" list (bottom left of the dialog) and chose item "Font". In that dialog go to tab "Advanced". In section "Character Spacing" the field "Position" should be "Normal", but is "Lowered" b 0.5pt.

That results in the markup <w:position w:val="-1"/> in styles.xml in the docx document. This element is defined in 17.3.2.24 position (Vertically Raised or Lowered Text) in the standard.

Apparently LibreOffice is now interpreting this setting somehow, LO 5.4 shows the text normally. But the values in LibreOffice are wrong. It would need 'lower by 4%' and 'Relative font size 100%'.

What was the author thinking, making such a setting in Word?
