[libreoffice-users] .docx trouble

hi. i'm working on a standalone ubuntu 11.04 box (no Windows on it!)
with LibreOffice 3.3.4 OOO330m19 (Build:401).

Last week I sent a client a .doc file, which he reviewed (Edit -> Show) and
then returned to me for further comments. I in turn added comments and
corrections to it in the same fashion, even changing some of his own 
entries.
When I had finished I saved it outright (i.e. not Save as....) and 
closed it so I
could e-mail it. On second thought I realized I needed to add one more
comment, but when I reopened the document i discovered that it had
been saved as *.docx*... (that is how he had sent his original to me, as I
realized too late...).

Attempts to reopen the document in libreoffice proved futile: all i got 
to see
was a fully readable first page (where no corrections had been made), 
followed
by some numbering and bullets with no visible text.
I then tried to re-save it as .odt or standard .doc, but no joy.

As I unzipped the document and looked into it I saw that distinct parts 
of the
document had been stored in separate 'compartments'. In a subsection named
'document.xml' i found the full text (complete with corrections and 
comments)
listed in something akin to 'web-script' format.

I did return the reviewed document to my client as is (since he is working
with a recent version of MSWord); he will need to use it immediately when
he receives it. My questions are
- is he likely to be able to properly open and view the document as i 
returned
  it to him?     and if not
- is there some way for me to recover or repair it?

On _imagebin.org_ I have (as 'johnherron') posted the 'segments' of the
document (11082_bb_Memo_inRe_... .docx) as shown by
Nautilus.

I'm very new at this, so i'd appreciate whatever help you may be able to 
provide
in plain, easy-to-understand language.

Thanks even now.
john
