Re: .docx files

JE -- again, many thanks, but . .

In Safari, when I "control - click" on the link, it does give me the
choice you mentioned, but the link downloads to my desktop as either
a .docx file OR a regular zip file (that is, a .docx.zip file) -- in
either case, when I try to drag that file onto EITHER the "Convert One
File" OR the "Convert Many Files" dialog box of the converter . . .
the file disappears, and nothing happens.

I mean, I appreciate that it's a Beta patch, but I wonder if anyone
has been able to deal with .docx files with this Office:Mac
program . . .

--- Thanks for the interest, but I guess I'm not sure what you're
talking about. The file in question exists only as a link -- the one
I'm trying now, for example, is "racism in the twentieth century.docx"

I can't drag the link anywhere. And when I click on that link, as I
said, an entire folder appears on my desktop. I can't drag the folder
onto the Office Converter's appllication window . . . it disappears.
If I click on the folder, I get three more folders, including one
called "word" . . . which seems promising . . . but when I click on
THAT folder, I just get a lot of .xml files -- and when I try to drag
ANY of them onto the Office Converter's application window, it too
disappears.

Download the .docx file to your hard drive as a .docx file (the method
varies depending on what browser you're using, but in Safari, you can
ctrl-click the link and choose Download Linked File), then drag the file
onto the converter's application window.
