shame on me - my test document was far too easy, and Hussein is (as
always) right about Libre/OpenOffice' poor performance.
The documents I used to deal with were always very easy (quite flat
structured, no tables etc.) - hence my optimistic opinion.
I'm sorry if I contributed to the confusion ;-(
Just to finish with this experiment:
[1] We used MS-Word 2010 to save simple.doc as simple.odt.
[2] We opened the simple.odt generated by MS-Word 2010 in LibreOffice
3.3.1 and got something very close to simple.doc. (That is, MS-Word
2010 does a fair job at saving .doc/.docx as .odt.)
[3] We opened simple.odt in LibreOffice and saved it as DocBook XML.
See attached simple_from_otd.xml file. It is significantly better than
simple_from_doc.xml.
Therefore, I would say: thank you Klaus for the lead you gave us!
