I haven't had a chance to check out the various options, but there are some
free conversion tools and some
tools for pay that translate docx to doc and, I think, vice versa.
Does anyone have any experience with these?

It is useful for me because the documents are smaller in size.
I know it's so much pain for the development team but LO should be compatible
in every possible way.
If someday LO market takes over, LO can set the rules.
MSO tried to add the ODF formats to their package, but did not try hard
enough.
Yes MS sets the rules since it has the most market share. It bought the
votes to have its XML format made a "second" ISO "international
standard" after ODF was made THE "international standard", and there
should not be two
"standards" for the same "item" by regulations of the ISO group. He who
had the biggest stick [or most money] makes the rules and gets away will
not obeying court rulings for years, since the fines for doing so is
just "pocket change" for MS. But since more and more Governments are
moving to Open Source, then that should mean also that a single company
should not control the file formats as well. So ODF is the way they
should go unless you use MS's non-XML formats.

I select the footer and I insert the page number and page count like this
Insert -> Fields -> Page Number , I type "/" , Insert -> Fields ->
Page Number
When I do a print preview it looks ok.
But when I save the document and open it again I see -1-3 , -2-3 , -3-3
instead.
I use the current version : LibreOffice 3.3.1 Build:8
The file extension is docx
Hi
I can confirm this behaviour. Seems like you've hit upon a bug within the
.docx format. All works as expected in .odf

Do yourself a favor. If you must have your documents readable in Word, use the ".doc" format instead of that
bloated/complex ".docx" format. I really wonder what MS people was thinking about when they created that XML
based format. I know a lot of MSO people who do not touch .docx and .xltx formats. They stick with .doc and .xlt
since it is able to be used my more MS Office versions. Since I do not use MSO, I stick with ODF formats like .odt and
.ods. But try to avoid MSO's "x" file formats. See if you can get all the people you know that use MSO to
stop using "x" file formats.
