It may also be worth noting that the conversion generates more page styles than
are used, as well as making unexpected changes.

Some examples:
1) All the page sizes are set to the same dimension, 360 x 576 pts (for a 5"x8"
book).
When converted, all converted page sizes are 360 x 575 pts.

2) Most pages are set with margins Inner, Outer, Top, Bottom: 45 25 24 21
   In the .docx these are mostly changed to: 66 36 0 0

3) Pages with footers in the original are set with Spacing 14.2pt and Height
14.2 pt, and dynamic spacing and autofit height off.
   In the converted .docx, these are changed to Spacing 21.1pt and Height 2.9
pt, and dynamic spacing and autofit height ON.

4) I have a no-header-or-footer style for the first page of a chapter.
   These pages generally convert across incorrectly and gain a header and
footer.
   However, even the page styles that have no header or footer visible, appear
in the Manage Styles with Header and Footer turned ON

I don't understand why the conversion doesn't embed enough information so that
when writer's .docx is read back by Writer, the page styles are preserved -
both the settings, and the names, and the number.

In my book, I have just 4 page styles defined and used. After saving to .docx
and reopening, not only are all the page styles altered, but there are now 149
plus the default style.
