Maybe (?)
Bug 33463 - Comments not saved in .docx
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33463

As far as I can see, there's not any known bug with lost comments in ODF
format.

More details (step-by-step) could be helpful.

Thanks for asking for more details--in getting them for you, I came up
with something new.

I had opened an existing file that had been created with MS Office
(.docx) and entered some comments using Cntl/Alt/N; I saved the file and
sent it back to the originator.  He replied that there were no comments,
so I opened the file and, sure enough, the comments I had entered were
not there.

Just now I tried creating a new file with LO and found that the comments
did not disappear. Then I saved his original file as a .doc file,
entered comments, saved, reopened file, and they were still there.  

So it looks like the solution when working with this particular person
is to get him to use .doc instead of .docx format!

And thank you again for suggesting more details!
