Comparison screenshot (Word vs. Writer)

Open attachment 95788 [details] from bug 76163, a scientific article in DOCX format.

As can be seen in the attached comparison screenshot, there are several issues with the document in Writer, the biggest one is probably the table not starting at the end of the first column after the abstract.

Some smaller issues, like any remaining layout problems, or issues with equations can be reported separately afterwards.

Observed with LO 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (8ea8e254a3151f5390f3a10ff156fcaf8e7c5d5c) / Windows, and it was never OK.
