Hi Miyako, Hmmm ... But it DOES work that way as long as: a) the Zip archive doesn't include the main folder and b) all the files contained in the archive are valid
The second criterion is the tricky one ... if something is wrong with one of the XML files you simply get an error message saying that Word can't open the document - there's no indication of what the problem is.
