I personally am quite surprised that Libre Office is hanging opening a .docx file. I don't have a problem.
Ditto, although I don't know which version of LO is shipped with 12.04 (it might be quite old and docx support has improved quite a lot recently).
If you're not running a fairly recent version (4.1.3 is the latest, I think), you can update from the LO team's PPA: https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa
It should just be a question of installing the repository (follow the instructions on that page) then "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" to pull in the latest LO version, although ask for advice first if unsure.
