Do you mean documentation about the DOCX export as we have it in the
code, or about the fileformat in general, please?

If you mean the former - I tried to document as much as possible when
splitting the original .doc exporter into its .doc and .docx parts, like
here:

http://docs.libreoffice.org/sw/html/classDocxAttributeOutput.html

but to learn details about the calling order of various things, the best
is just to read the sources.

Do you have a case in mind that you'd like to fix?  Or are you just
interested in helping improving the DOCX export in general? - in that
case it would be awesome to improve our DOCX export test coverage by
slowly copying the import tests to the import/export tests + fix
whatever is not preserved during the roundtrip :-)

All the best,
Kendy
