I often work with customers who send me .docx files and expect me to 
edit the files and send them back.
Being aware that LO doesn't always reproduce the original formatting 
when saving in .docx mode, I process the files and then re-save them as 
"MS Word 97/2000/XP/2003". The customer's formatting is preserved and no 
one has ever complained about receiving a .doc file instead of a .docx.

Using LO 3.5.7.2 on Linux Mint 13 Maté.
