Re: [O] Attach a Word doc in org mode file

[John Kitchin]

You can use a regular link like [[file:some-doc.docx]]

If you click on this and see stuff like:

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
