--- Comment #5 from Justin L <[email protected]> ---
quite honestly, I think I would flag this as NOTABUG.

The default paragraph style clearly specifies that EVERYTHING should be
subscripted.
<w:style w:type="paragraph" w:default="1" w:styleId="Normal">
  <w:name w:val="Normal"/>
  <w:rPr>
    <w:position w:val="-1"/>
  </w:rPr>
</w:style>

Perhaps Microsoft just ignores any position settings in paragraph styles? After
all, setting superscript or subscript on an entire paragraph doesn't make much
sense (although in theory if MOST of the characters should be subscripted, it
might be easier to just set specific characters to normal). A similar concept
was ignored with commit      861ca1f5030f2f6b7fbdc3bb3ded3d11130673ed for the
overall docDefaults...

But there really is no reason to make an exception to the normal working of
styles just "because it wouldn't normally make sense" for a user to do
something silly like set everything to subscript.

The best fix is to fix the document itself. (In the Normal paragraph style,
change Font - Character Spacing - Position to normal.) 

NOTE: As documented in the bug fix and the bug report, we treat ANY subscript
as default in styles because doing anything else would be virtually impossible.
So that also exaggerates the impact of this specific example document.

NOTABUG. If you disagree, please provide the documentation on why the specified
positioning should be ignored.
