M Filemode Length Date Time File - ---------- -------- ----------- -------- ---------------------------- -rw-rw-rw- 1524 1-Jan-1980 00:00:00 [Content_Types].xml -rw-rw-rw- 735 1-Jan-1980 00:00:00 _rels/.rels -rw-rw-rw- 1085 1-Jan-1980 00:00:00 word/_rels/document. Then emacs is just opening the docx file and showing you the contents of the zip file. try this on the link: C-u C-u C-c o or C-u C-u Enter Eliya Voldman writes: > How could I attach a Word document in my .org file?
