Re: [libreoffice-users] Please forward to Mike Kaganski

I don't know how to solve the issue, but as a general rule you should 
never use the DOCX format as it is extremely unreliable, especially for 
very long documents. You should always use ODT instead, which is the 
native LibreOffice document format and is more robust. DOCM is the 
format of VBA for Word 2007, and is not a common file format. You can 
find here: 
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/open-xml/word/how-to-convert-a-word-processing-document-from-the-docm-to-the-docx-file-format 
how to convert a DOCM file to DOCX, but if the conversion works I 
strongly suggest to immediately save the document as ODT and use the 
DOCX format only to share the file with Microsoft 365 users.
