To resolve you problem with docx format please install to you Vista Open Office from openoffice.org and you resolve you problem with formats , on Ubuntu and on Win you see the same documents .

Supposedly the latest version of OpenOffice can open them but can't write
them:

As an alternative, you could save them in one of the older Word formats.
You need to be careful about a couple of things when you pass documents back
and forth between OpenOffice and MS Office. The one that I keep bumping
into, with older version of both, is change tracking. The two programs
handle it differently. In the environment I work in, we have it on all the
time because we are constantly updating documentation from a previous
release to add a few new features.
