I have installed AOO on a PC, just looking to confirm that saving as .docx is a feature of LibreOffice but not of OpenOffice. That's what I'm seeing, along with what I mentioned, that AOO can save, for example, Word or Excel files as .xml (but I'm not sure why you might want to, what the Office 2003/xml version means). I'm hoping to reach one of the AOO developers.
