I generally have success accurately opening docx format files. 
Occasionally I get one that I have to open MSO and convert to doc (2003) 
or ODF 1.0/1.1. Usually it is some graphic layout that causes the 
problem. This is known issue with LO and AOO.

docx file conversions are occasionally difficult because MS is trying to 
push their proprietary MS Office and makes open the file accurately 
problematic.

If you are using Linux, you might try Calligra Words (probably available 
in your repository) to see if it is better at opening the file and 
saving to odt.
