Sadly, when I try to convert to .doc, I get the following message:

"Unable to locate original file D:\XXX\YYY\file. Please copy this original file into directory above and try again."

Check the file name Dec 16, 2009

Double check if the file name is correct.

See also the following thread:

Hope it helps,
Hynek

I've checked and pfff Dec 16, 2009

Hey Hynek,

I've double checked the file name and it's ok.
I've also seen that thread and it didn't happen at all... Nothing seems to work

Regards,

Ist the file name and path in TTX heading still the same? Dec 16, 2009

Did you create the TTX yourself?
If yes, then indeed you have a problem or simply overlooked a dot or so in file name.
If not, check the TTX heading (open in Notepad) and adapt the path and filename there to match your system.
