Just a suggestion.

I've noticed that Version 4 of LO has problems with files generated
with LO 3.  Maybe if you try LO 3, you can get the earlier version off
the LO web site, it might handle the .docx files better than version 4.

I installed LO 4 on my wife's computer and tried to open a spread
sheet file that was generated with LO 3.  Some of the formulas were
scrambled.  I then installed LO 3 on her computer and the spreadsheets
opened just fine.
