<pre>Description:
I have a strange bug in Writer. If I create a formula via Insert > Object >
Formula... such as:
P left (B divides D right ) = sum from {k = 1} to {k} {P} left (B divides {M}
rsub {k} , D right ) P left ({M} rsub {k} divides D right )
It appears to be normal. When I save as a .docx, then close and reopen the
document, the formula has changed to
P left (B | D right ) = sum from {k = 1} to {k} {P} left (B | {M} rsub {k} , D
right ) P left ({M} rsub {k} | D right )
The divides have been changed to | in the formula itself. The | then render as
a weird 'V'. This error does not occur when saving as an .odt file.
System info:
Version: 6.2.0.3
Build ID: 98c6a8a1c6c7b144ce3cc729e34964b47ce25d62

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create formula in Writer using 'divides' syntax
2.Save as .docx
3.Close Writer
4.Reopen document
Actual Results:

Expected Results:
'divides' should remain as the syntax.
Reproducible: Always
