Hi,
Am a newbie to Libre Office so apologies if this has been answered 
elsewhere.

When I load .docx files into Office 3 for view/edit the formatting is 
shot to pieces and the Table of Contents is not picked up when included 
in the original.
It appears that .doc files are loading ok.
I thought that .docx files were supported by LO. Apologies if this 
assumption is incorrect.

Is there anything that I can do to address these formatting issues, or 
must I convert these .docx files to .doc format before reading them in LO?
Thanks


There are considerable issue with OOXML/MOX[1] files:

Then again, Microsoft also has issues as well:

Your best bet is to ask users to use .doc rather than .docx (preferably
.odt, but we all know that isn't realistic).
