There are considerable issue with OOXML/MOX[1] files: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=docx Then again, Microsoft also has issues as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML <http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/open-a-word-2007-document-in-an-earlier-version-of-word-HA010044473.aspx> Your best bet is to ask users to use .doc rather than .docx (preferably .odt, but we all know that isn't realistic).
