Libre Office Writer is probably available for XUbuntu, it can read/write OOXML (DOCX), and because it was developed to the ECMA-376 standard, it's support for the format is 'better' than some older versions of MS Word
At its core Writer is reverse engineered Word '9?, many features like Templates and Styles are functionally similar to Word, an exception is macro's, Word is limited to VBA, Writer gives greater choice - e.g Python. I use LO Writer on the occasional ODT, normally I save as DOCX from Writer and work with that in Word. But sometimes I have to work with the ODT directly, but I save it as DOCX for the purposes of creating an EPUB via Sigil's DOCXImport PI.

As was previously mention by DiapDealer, the 'starter' mapping that his plugin ships has the wherewithal to turn it off, I wittingly chose to leave it as-is, viz:
Code:
# Uncomment these next two if you don't like the default <em> and <strong>
#b => b
#i => i
The fact that some people here don't like em and strong tags matters to me not one jot. The epubs I create are read by a closed group who wouldn't know a 'b or strong tag' from the price tag on the clothes they bought yesterday
