Hi,

Make returns an error that I do not understand Invalid docx file.

I am using a document with the docx format.

Do you have an idea?

Hi. Review your data input. Maybe you are mapping the data incorrectly. Can you send us a print screen with the input maping?

@Bjoern & @Gauthier (maybe you figured it out already so pleas let us know but…) you’re screenshot is not showing the full scenario so I do not know what kind of module you are using, this kind of information is pretty usefull.

However, I think you are using some kind of “Create document” module which I think expects the “data” to be in binary instead of the text you are giving right now. Please check if this is the case, and if you want to transform anything to binary use the toBinary() function:

for your case, you need to put in the Name of a file you read in your scenario.

e.g start by reading a file from dropbox or onedrive and then MS WORD TEMPLATE should be the 2nd module in your scenario
