I have a .docx file that I experimented with. These are the things that 
I did with it.

1) Opened the .docx file in LO 6.2.5.1, and saved it as a .odt file.

2) Used Control+A to select the entire document.

3) Right clicked the text and then selected "Clear Direct Formatting".

4) Used LO to reformat the document to match the original documents layout.

I did run into problems with hyperlinks as they retained the original 
format especially the font and font size. To get around that, I 
recreated the hyperlinks along side of the originals. Then I erased the 
originals.

If you want, I could take a look at your document to see what could be 
done with it.
