So you decided to write in docx format and you expect people to review your
work?
I did not even looked at it because of the format.
If you write it in OpenOffice even if it does not look the best, people may
help you.
The issue of how it looks can be fixed later.
You may even work with simple text file to begin and later on transfer it to
a good word processor to do the formatting.
