Working with docx: creating own templates

Viewed 6

Hi there,
I was trying to create my own template for .docx. In marked help there is a specific explanation how to do this. I tried to follow but was unable to find the application support folder for marked in my library (which I find strange...). Neither manually, nor by spotlight.
Citation from the help page: "...and save it to ~/Library/Application Support/Marked/Custom Word Styles/STYLENAME.thmx,"

Any idea on where to look?

Best regards!
Martin

Is your Library folder visible?

  1. In Finder, press ⌘⇧G (Go → Go to Folder…)

  2. Paste this path (Direct build):

     ~/Library/Application Support/Marked/Custom Word Styles
    

    Or for Mac App Store:

     ~/Library/Containers/com.brettterpstra.marked/Data/Library/Application Support/Marked/Custom Word Styles
    
  3. Click Go

If the folder doesn't show up at either of those paths, let me know.

Yes, the Library folder is visible.
But I didn't think about looking in Containers.

I found it here: '/Users/mogli/Library/Containers/com.brettterpstra.marked/Data/Library/Application Support/Marked/Custom Word Styles'

OK. That will help me. But honestly, this was very hard to find. Thanks anyway for your quick response!

Just for info: After I managed to locate the correct library folder, the next problem was that Finder wouldn't unzip the renamed Word document (with a .zip ending). I had to do that with the help of "unzip -j " in Terminal. This allowed me to find the .xml file.
The good news is: Now I have my custom .docx Export style that works (tested).
Thanks again, Brett!
