I need some explanation

Special missing value (assigned as .D).

Example:

num = .d;

Such values do not magically appear out of nowhere, someone defined them, probably for a reason, so I would be very careful before replacing them with a simple missing value (.).

I extracted the pictures from your docx and inserted them with the "camera" button. It is much better to post pictures directly than embedding them in Office documents which are then attached. Many members here work behind firewalls that prevent the download of such potentially dangerous files.
