You have a lot of nice options:
- Force them to use BSD/Linux ;)
- explain them, why docx is shit!
- don't read it
Usually I unzip a docx and then search
through all *xml files to find the
useful data. However, I can't find any
xml styles to use, so I have to convert
the relevant xml file(s) to plain text
by hand. I wonder if anybody can suggest
a better way. Perhaps there's something
in ports that can help.
But if you really, really need to read docx, you can try the web
application from Microsoft. A few months ago, I got also a lot of docx
and I opend it with the microsoft web app; this worked for me to extract
the information...

The downside: you have to sign up on a microsoft service :(
