(...) exporting a text with formulas (starmath equations) to

Anyone using LO to prepare scientific papers, esp. in physics,
mathematics etc., would be inherently interested in such export
going right. Lots of publishers accept manuscripts in word2003 .DOC
format only (...).

Quite incidentally to the main issue at point (which is get a good
MathType export from LibreOffice Writer), I'm quite surprised by that
statement. My experience, in the little corners of academia I used to
interact with, was that "esp. in physics, mathematics etc" use of
(La)TeX was ubiquitous, although I've met some older people that wrote
their (PhD) thesis in troff. It is only in fields like biology that
I've seen people belabour with Microsoft Word. Quite strongly, in the
university where I did my first and second undergraduate degrees, the
possibility to open a (remote / Cytrix / Terminal Server) Microsoft
Windows session from the student labs' workstations was informally
known as the biologists' work tool. Mathematics, physics, computer/ing
science, geology, ... were all working on Unix and (La)TeX.
