Thanks, this is useful information.

Does pandoc convert from docx to org-mode?

Does libreoffice?

What problems did you encounter with docx-->org-->docx?

Did you try odt-->org-->odt?

the required steps with pandoc transparently.  Provided it works well
enough with at least odt, it would at least solve most of my needs.
