Your problem is unrelated to the browser you use. No browser can open .docx files. The browser just invokes the helper application which can open such files. Your problem is related to the helper application you use (olive office). > > Can you provide any insight into why this might be happening? > Sorry but our product targets MS-Word for the .rtf, .wml and .docx outputs and OpenOffice/LibreOffice for the .odt output. This is clearly stated on the very first page of our web site: http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/ We have found that software other than MS-Word which claim to support the .docx format, that is, the ECMA-376 standard, often rely on MS-Word specific implementation of the standard (e.g. in terms of file layout within the .docx file) and at best, end up displaying something poorly formatted. Therefore we have no incentive to attempt supporting any application other than MS-Word. -- XMLmind FO Converter Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xfc-support
