In my experience, most paragraph styles tend to translate well to MS-Word
formats. However, I've had problems with the alignment of automatic
numbering and/or bullets. LO and MSW seem to align them differently.
One bigger difference, however, is the way the two formats handle page
formatting.

Is there an id key field? If there is the default sorting is by the id key
(usually numerical order).
In SQL you can add the line:

The default order is ascending (ASC) if descending is needed
ORDER BY Last-Name DESC, First-Name DESC

Hi :)
You would probably find the same thing happen in other versions of MS Office.
The DocX format keeps changing in each different version of MS Office and
possibly on different versions of Windows. So a DocX made with 2007 on Xp
might look quite different in MS Office 2010 on Win7.
To restate Tom's info
If you save a .docx file using MSO 2013, it most likely will not read
properly in MSO 2010 or 2007. This will happen more often as the
document becomes more complex.
I always tell my MSO users that if you want to make sure all of the
different versions of MSO can read

If you can use MS Office to do some final proof-reading then you are unlikely

We have been assuming that is not possible and that would make the final
