formula containing dot product

A formula with a dot product when File-> Export as PDF, renders as a cross product instead.

I have slightly elevated this severity because people often times will export as PDF and not bother to proof-read before sending out for publication -- and the confusion between dot and cross product may not be immediately apparent to those reading the resulting document, which, particularly in engineering environments, may be downright dangerous.

Nothing to do with formula editor: your file is a msword document.
Not able to test further because I do not have MSWord.

Best regards. JBF

MS Word is not required to test this bug.

All that is required is to open it in LibreWriter and export as PDF to reproduce it.
