Search, search and search again. Then ask anything. Hi Karen, Probably your provider has man pages installed, which are the original accessible documentation. In this case `man pandoc` executed on your linux host followed by /docx will bring you to the correct line, in this case, already in the second sentence of the DESCRIPTION section. For me it's a matter of pride, and also respect for other people with expertise whose time I value, to at least read the docs of the programs I'm having trouble with before asking for help. Everyone misses something obvious at times, so I'm stating this as a general principle. Even if you don't have the man pages, `pandoc -h` returns useful information, including the promising option --list-input-formats. `pandoc --list-input-formats` generates a rather long list so in this instance I might filter the results by piping the output through grep: `pandoc --list-input-formats | grep docx` . This returns 'docx', and we have our answer. Filtering with grep is usually easier than scrolling through many lines or pages of output.
