DOCX support from OpenOffice and Libre Office is still pretty weak. There is a free 3rd party lib (odfconverter) that is much better at formatting. If you can link this in with your app or do some preprocessing that would be a likely good result. Note that new versions of MS Office read ODT format fairly well so that may provide another avenue for you to investigate. So, odfconverter would give you docx->odt. Docmosis or JODReports could do the odt->doc.

Take a look at unoconv. It does all the conversion supported by OpenOffice from the command line
