One solution: open it in Microsoft Word (apologies to those who see 
these as dirty words!), save it as .doc instead of .docx, and open 
that in LibreOffice (perhaps then saving that as .odt).  I'll send 
you the result.  You may need to readjust the vertical spacing.

While you are at it, you might want to explain to the originators:
1) they ought not to be requiring their customers to have particular 
proprietary software available,
2) they could make life easier anyway by distributing as .doc instead 
of .docx, and
3) being in Northern Ireland (part of the UK), they should be 
providing documents in the international standard A4 format, not the 
Letter format used by a very few non-standard countries.

I trust this helps.
