Hi :) Yes, it does crop up quite often but it is still a legitimate question.
Ideally convert things to doc format if that is possible. DocX is designed to be incompatible with non-MS products imo. However the LibreOffice 3.4.2 often does a better job of read/writing docXs than the 3.3.3 but having both is possible if you follow this guide http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Still neither is perfect at it so trying to stick with Doc is better.

When I load .docx files into Office 3 for view/edit the formatting is shot to pieces and the Table of Contents is not picked up when included in the original. It appears that .doc files are loading ok. I thought that .docx files were supported by LO. Apologies if this assumption is incorrect. Is there anything that I can do to address these formatting issues, or must I convert these .docx files to .doc format before reading them in LO?
