Reference document for DOCX format doesn't seem to be picked up

Reference document for DOCX format doesn't seem to be picked up

[Oliver Baumann]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1062 bytes --]

I use pandoc (version 2.5) on Linux to convert Markdown to DOCX:

pandoc -s file.md -t docx --reference-doc=style-ref.docx  -o file.docx

I created the file style-ref.docx via pandoc 
--print-default-data-file=reference.docx  > style-ref.docx and then 
modified it in MS Word.

However the formatting changes saved to style-ref.docx do not seem to be 
applied to the result document.

What's going wrong? 

How can I debug this? Calling pandoc with --verbose doesn't give any more 
clues.

Only certain changes to the reference.docx  will make
a difference, as outlined in the manual (which gives
a list of the styles you can tweak).

Thanks for your response!

I haven't done anything fancy though: Just made the Title and the Subtitle 
in the reference document left justified - is this not supported?

Those should be supported according to the manual.
Maybe you could link to or attach the reference docx
you're using.

Here the reference file I use. 

You can see that Title and subtitle are left-aligned - but when I use the 
reference style title and subtitle are still centered.

(Sorry for the late response!)

Hi Oliver.

I'm afraid you didn't modify the reference doc correctly.

You changed the Title on the document text, but not on the "style".
You need to change the styles, not the text (after changing the styles, the 
text normally reflects these changes anyways).

Edit the "Title" style and make it left aligned. It will work.

Best regards,
  Agustín.
