Hi there,

I am play with John’s ox-word.el function, which us pandoc to convert org via latex to docx. However, when I try to use it, I get  the following error

helm-M-x: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil


Any suggestion on how to resolve this issue.

Cheers,
M

Re: exporting org to docx

[John Kitchin]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 13237 bytes --]

Your file worked approximately right for me. The code block did not render
too well (I set it up to use minted), but everything else did fine I guess.
My tex header is different than yours, but I don't know how much that
matters. The output I got is attached.

I did see two places where delete-file might cause that and have pushed
fixes to scimax for them. They may have been the cause (although I don't
know why mine would have worked, and it didn't for you, the ox-word
versions should have been the same probably).

Re: exporting org to docx

[Doyley, Marvin M.]

Hi John,

I really appreciate your help. I tried the latest version of ox-word.el that you place in scimax, but got the same error. I suspect that there is a bug in my set-up. 

I will investigate and keep you posted.

Cheers,
M
