Hi Jane, The only thing I can say at this point is that I've run in to weirdness in Automator many times. Sometimes the workflow document gets messed up some how and I've had to throw it away and start over.
You might also try ignoring the text from textedit action and manually enter something in the second action just to see what happens. I really have no idea why it isn't working for you.

You got the third action, I thought it would just take the file from the desktop encoe it, and delete the original, but not sure what I am doing wrong here.
