Hello.  I've been exclusively a Linux user for more than 10 years.  
Unfortunately  practically all of the undergraduates I teach are still windoze 
droids, so I have to grade their papers in .docx format now, and I don't have a 
windoze machine to do it on.

The problem is that somehow Bill has found a way to make .docx files containing 
graphs impossible for LibreOffice, OpenOffice, or odfconverter to handle.  See 
attached example.  The original version of this file (before I redacted the 
names and saved it from libreoffice) definitely contains embedded graphs 
probably imported from EXCEL. But nothing at all shows up in libreoffice 3.3.2 
after the student's headings "Part A: Graph " and so forth.  Openoffice 3.1 and 
odfconverter give the same result.

Is there any insight out there?  Conversion from .doc format works better, but 
as true windoze droids these students can barely cope with instructions like 
"save your file in .doc format before turning it in".

Thanks.
