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.

Finally, someone writes some sense.
The other day, I received a docx file to edit. LO opened the file, and
I edited it. I saved it in what LO thinks is docx. Then I discovered that
_even LO could not open the saved file!_ It could not even open the
file that it, itself, had created!
So _do not_ save a file from LO in docx format!
