I find the best ODT comes from LaTeX -> pandoc -> ODT. I have the following 
section at the bottom of my default Org template workbook.

  -k.



* DOCX                                                  :noexport:

Exporting to DOCX by using pandoc to convert the LaTeX export to DOCX seems to 
work much better than using Org directly. This means you need to export to 
LaTeX, properly compile the latex (to get the references correct), then run the 
BibTeX code block below 1x (and re-run each time you update any references), 
then run the Pandoc code block to convert the TeX file to DOCX.

** BibTeX                                               :noexport:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :var fn=(file-name-sans-extension 
(buffer-name))
biber ${fn} --output_format bibtex
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:

** Pandoc
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :var fn=(file-name-sans-extension 
(buffer-name))
pandoc -f latex -t docx -o ${fn}.docx --bibliography ./${fn}_biber.bib ${fn}.tex
#+END_SRC
