--- Comment #1 from orcmid <or...@apache.org> ---
That is correct.  To save documents in a format acceptable to Microsoft Word,
either use the older .doc format (or .rtf), or for current (2010 and later)
versions of Microsoft Word, simply use the default ODF (.odt) format.

This it technically not a defect.  It was by design.  There was an explicit
decision to accept import of OOXML formats but not produce them years before
Apache OpenOffice.  A solution to provide bidirectional interchange with OOXML
formats has not been implemented at this time.

If .docx is a critical requirement for you, you can install LibreOffice and see
if that satisfies your fidelity requirements for round-trip working with .docx. 

The bugzilla does not allow a clean resolution disposition for this issue and
ones like it.  I changed the incident from DEFECT (although I understand the
expectation that the feature be available) to FEATURE.  NOT_AN_ISSUE is
incorrect in my mind,  But NOT_A_DEFECT is unavailable.  It is clearly a known
issue for the project and for users of the software for whom Microsoft Office
interchange is a critical requirement.
