--- Comment #1 from Regina Henschel <[email protected]> ---
The problem is, that the template uses the right-to-left mark in the section
property to position the line numbering on the right margin. It seems Word has
no other means to put the line numbering to the right.

To "repair" the document, set the writing direction to "left-to-right" in the
page style and the line numbering position to "right" in Tools>Line numbering.

I see in Word, that even in a right-to-left section, the table layout
(=ordering of columns) is left-to-right. You need to explicitly set it to
right-to-left in the table properties if you want the start column on the right
side. The table will get a <w:bidiVisual/> child element then.

Perhaps LibreOffice can set text::WritingMode2::LR_TB as default in any case on
import and later overwrite it, if a "bidiVisual" exists?

I think, ignoring the <w:bidi/> element cannot be the solution, because it
might be used for other purposes than positioning of line numbering.

I confirm, that there is an import problem.

BTW, the template is not a dot (MS binary), but a dotx document.
