(In reply to Justin L from comment #12)
> 1.) For some reason, title-page (Title/Follow) isn't working. I assume that

Correct. This prevents IsPlausableSingleWordSection().

> (I don't think that docx has the idea of a Title/Follow page styles
Kinda correct - I guess a continuous section serves that role, but continuous
sections are an anathema to LO.

So, we have to try to emulate title/follow when exporting to DOCX format, and
frequently that can be done if the follow style doesn't already have a
different "first page". In that case, if IsPlausableSingleWordSection, then we
consolidate the two page styles into one, marking the initial headers/footers
as "different first page".

***Ideally, if you plan to export to MS formats, try to use "different first
page header/footers) instead of title/follow page styles.***

> 2.) The footer is missing from even pages in docx (but not in .doc).
> Probably because header is different even/odd, but footer is not?
Correct. proposed fix at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/65699 and
gerrit.libreoffice.org/65700

One reason the page breaks were noticeable after the Chapter page was that the
text wasn't fitting all on one page. Undefined even headers/footers being
inherited from previous page styles took up some extra space. That was fixed in
LO 6.1 by Tamas' commit 6aa1df5a627697e6adaee70adcef2c5b50cfcbf7.
