Download the demo version of the latest 'NisusWriter Pro'. - It is 
full-working for 15 days. - NWP may solve the problems, but it /may/ 
also give some font problems if the original .docx file is written in 
Word 2012 for Windows - especially if the fonts used in the orig. 
document are 'MS Serif' and/or 'MS San Serif'. - But since the demo is 
free for two weeks, it could be worth trying.
