The better choice for DOCX / Word files is LibreOffice.
You may open DOCX files on OpenOffice but it is not possible to save/export as DOCX. LibreOffice can.
Bear in mind: there will regularly be a loss in format and/or content, if you save as a Word document.
Always save as odt (open document format), only for exchange export to Word format.
Latest OpenOffice installed
Is this 4.1.3 on Windows 10? Let me guess.
LibreOffice current versions 7 and OpenOffice 4.1.15
on LinuxMint 20 - 21 Mate, W10-64 pro
