I almost never create docx documents.  I tend to use.doc if I need to 
send it to a Word users for further editing by them, otherwise I send 
them PDFs. The more "complex" the .docx document, the worse time I have 
with it being read properly with LO.  I just prefer to do all my editing 
in .odt and then "export" a copy to .doc or .docx as needed.

I know a lady that sends out .docx files as "fliers and posters", but 
never realized people may have problems using these documents.  Yes, 
people have problems with proper displaying/reading them in MSO-2007 and 
not just LO users.

Why would someone "require" .docx format?  I know a book editor and she 
tells me that publishers do require certain document formats, but never 
heard of any that required .docx over .doc.  She is a Mac user, so her 
options are limited forusing MS packages.
