I only know how to do a rough approximation by means of pandoc:

#+BEGIN_SRC bash
  pandoc -f org+smart my-original.org -t docx+smart -o my-output.docx
#+END_SRC

for slightly older versions of pandoc, this may work (there is an 
equivalent for the references, I think):
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
  pandoc -f org+smart --bibliography=../../References.bib 
my-original.org -o my-output.doc
#+END_SRC

I used to have a better solution, but at some point it stopped working. 
I didn't ask here, because 1/2 of my questions go under the radar, and I 
don't like to bug people with my issues:

To get a working file, first export to odt with Org-mode
(~C-c C-e o o~), and then 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 ./my-.odt
#+END_SRC

For the latter, I used to have
#+OPTIONS: tex:dvipng

A better solution would be most appreciated.
