I'm sorry for the very late response (deadlines). I will check for the 
pandoc version and let you know. One of the distros that I use is a 
rolling linux. The other one is the same as yours. I would also like to 
note that I got the pandoc snippet from Dr. Kitchin's website: 
http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2015/01/29/Export-org-mode-to-docx-with-citations-via-pandoc/

I checked, and I am very satisfied with ~C-c C-e o o~. I set #+OPTIONS: 
dvipng. You can't edit the formulas, but I don't care about that. All my 
equations look fine and the pictures too. I also have to copy my 
references by hand, but that is the least of my issues, and I only do it 
when the final version is ready. I also get my source blocks right.

I think that the only thing which is really missing from Org as related 
to exporting is handling pictures inside tables (a way to create 
subfigures). There is a partial solution with ox-latex-subfigure 
[[https://github.com/linktohack/ox-latex-subfigure]], but is limited in 
the :width parameter. One of these days I will learn LISP and implement 
it myself (unless another brave soul goes for it first). Even Beamer 
columns can be used to this end, but this would only work for 
presentations. I don't know any other way.

#+TITLE: My fancy title

* Finite element conditions
- Note taken on [2017-02-16 Thu 23:35] \\
  3% strain via a load curve (relaxed for viscoelastic case)
  fiber direction (\lambda) as a function of time for each element
** One-element test
- Elongated from 0 to 100% from $t=0$ s to $t=1$ s
- The elongation was held constant and the stress relaxed until $t=3$ s

** Stress relaxation
- 125 elements (5\times5\times5)
- Same conditions as [[tab:coeff]]
  #+NAME: tab:coeff
  #+CAPTION: Coefficients
  | G_{e} | G_{0} | N_{d} | I_{0} |
  | (MPa) | (MPa) | ?     | ?     |
  |-------+-------+-------+-------|
  | 0.429 | 1.0   | 6     |     0 |
- Displacement boundary conditions
- Stretched from 0 to 3% in 5 s, followed by 1.5% ~ 3.0% cyclic strain
  @ 0.1 Hz
- Timestepping adjusted to ensure solution at each peak and valley
** Model
*** Bodies
- Rigid bodies
- 6 DOF
- Position by load curves (functions of time)

  #+BEGIN_QUOTE
  This requires storage for a symmetric 2nd order tensor at each
  integration point for each element, at each previous timestep.
  #+END_QUOTE

    $$ \int_{a}^{b}{f(x)\,g(x)\d{x}}\big. = f(\xi{})\,\int_{a}^{b}{g(x)\d{x}}\big. \qquad a < \xi{} < b$$

* Configuration                                    :noexport:
#+OPTIONS: tex:dvipng

** First alternative
To get a working file, first set the ~#+OPTIONS: dvipng~ somewhere, then export to odt with Org-mode
(~C-c C-e o o~), and run this (you can do ~C-c C-c~
on it; make sure that LibreOffice is not running)
#+BEGIN_SRC shell :results none
 libreoffice --headless --convert-to doc ./doc-convert.odt
#+END_SRC

** Other alternatives:

#+BEGIN_SRC bash
  pandoc -s -S --bibliography=../../References.bib wcb2018-abstract.org -o wcb2018-abstract.doc
  pandoc -f org+smart --bibliography=../../References.bib wcb2018-abstract.org -o wcb2018-abstract.doc
  pandoc -f org+smart wcb2018-abstract.org -t docx+smart -o wcb2018-abstract.docx
