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. Odt is becoming more widely used but the only version of MS Office that can really handle it is MS Office 2013. The 2007 and 2010 attempt to implement Odf was a bit sub-optimal.

Also I just took a copy of a news letter I am getting ready to send out ( generated in .odf format) and saved it as a .docx document. the formating was totally messed up and graphics were messed up also (graphics in wrong place, text in wrong place probably caused by graphics being wrong, some graphics just plain blank box,>Good. You should be sending the newsletter in odt format; most modern software can view it, otherwise pdf/html should be used.
yes I am aware of compatibility problems. Typical MS. What I am trying to do is open the .docx document, and then save it as odt. This works fine is original doc is all text. But when graphics ixist in document and get relocated, missed etc, then its hard to get a proper document. It seems to work better in LO 3.6.3 than in LO 4.0.0.3.
