Thanks Alex for your comment
(https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115944#c16)

A few remarks and questions though.

I see much mention of your points 1) and 2) which puzzles me.  Such an approach
is not really an option in my case because customers give me a DOCX file which
enters an automated process—there is no way in that automation to use MS Word
for ODT conversion.  Moreover, the ODT conversion in Word sometimes fails just
as much as LO fails to read DOCX, so there doesn’t seem to be a win.

4) and 5) look like they have improved since I’ve last checked with LO 5.xx in
February. However, my Word version 16.16 still renders the footnote in three
lines (see the initial screen shot).

6) Do I understand correctly that LO reads a DOCX file by running it through an
internal DOCX → ODT filter, and then renders that ODT?

7) Comparing DOCX in Word 16.16 with that same DOCX in LO 6.0.5.2 still shows
different text flow around the image which causes different paragraph layout. 
For a document with several hundred pages, this cumulative error can be quite
significant!  Are you able to reproduce that difference with the DOCX attached
to this bug report?

8) I would agree, and I have already filed a bug report with Word.

@Alex, what are your thoughts on the images I uploaded on 2018-07-30?

Thanks!
