Hi Tom!
I'm surprised with that: IFAIK, the docx format was just the opposite:
the (XML) Open Format reply of Microsoft to the banning of proprietary
formats (the old .doc formats were especially targeted...) by the
governments of a lot of countries, starting with the USA, Japan, several
European countries...:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docx
I suppose that if Microsoft made available a converter pack (with read
and WRITE capabilities), it was also not entirely for avoiding people to
buy the new versions of MSO...
Best regards,
Jean-Louis

Hi :)
If you can then please stick with the .doc format and avoid the .docX. The
newer format is proprietary and was designed to be incompatible with non-MS
Office programs including LibreOffice.
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Document rendering flaw in LibreOffice
I have one document, with some very simple graphic components in it, which
is refusing to load in LibreOffice Writer.
It has a few simple boxes in the layout, and it just suppresses them.
The problem goes away when I save them as a .doc in lieu of .docx
Any suggestions?
