Am I not using the right set up, is there a specific code to use or is there something else I can do to fix this problem?
It is impossible to help you without more information. What error are you seeing? What version of which library are you using?
According to ileinfo.com/extension/docx, a docx file is zip-compressed directory of xml (and other format) files. lxml should work on extracted .xml files, but I expect not on the zip as a whole. You likely need to use a docx-specific package such as python-docx, oodocx, docx2python. (At least 1 of these uses lxml.) Search ‘docx’ on pypi.org. Good luck. You can also replace ‘docx’ with ‘zip’ to access with a zip program.
