A helper needs to understand all and often needs to make simulations to provide you with an answer.

Let me guess what your problem is. You created a document in LibreOffice and orignially saved it in ODT format. At this point it “worked fine.” However, you used some features of the ODT standard that do not translate well to DOCX. So, you then saved as DOCX and reopened your file. At this point, when you opened the file, some of the formatting was messed up (document all scrambled up). If my guess proves correct, and you have the original ODT, try opening it to see if your formatting is still correct. If you want further assistance you will have to further define your problem.
