The DOTX file may also contain layout settings, fields and macros. So if you believe it would be easier to recreate the DOTX file, make sure you copy all of that over as well. But note: if the layout isn't the same as the file that the client sent you, or if the macros don't work (and you may not be able to test the macros yourself), then you'd be delivering a file to the client in a format that the client doesn't want.
