Lanny,
the layout and appearance of old doc files are still often not perfect 
in openoffice.
Heck, doc files created with MS word version xyz often look different 
when opened with a different version of ms word!
So I wouldn't expect openoffice to render docx files perfectly for a 
while... Be happy if you can read the text ;-) .
