Hi :) DocX is really bad for sharing with people unless you be be fairly certain they are using the same version of MS Office on the same version of Windows.
The older MS format, Doc for 97/2000/Xp/2003 is still currently the best format for sharing files. Odt is becoming more widely used but the only version of MS Office that can really handle it is MS Office 2013. The 2007 and 2010 attempt to implement Odf was a bit sub-optimal.
