You can convert Microsoft Word Open XML (.docx) files to OpenDocument (.odt) formats using the open source ODF Converter software on Sourceforge.
The ODF Translator Command Line is the version that worked most easily for me. Apparently it will import and export to Microsoft Word, but that didn't happen for me. And the command line version doesn't require you to have Word at all. Once you've unzipped the command line tool, you just have to run this from the Windows command line.
OdfConverter.exe /I file.docx /O file.odt
Then you're done. If you don't have OpenOffice or Word to convert it back into a normal old-fashioned .doc file, you can import the .odt file into Google Docs and export it from there.
