Thank you for the reply. I had just realized that was probably going on 
(data files built into the binary) just before I got your post. I was able 
to get the functionality I was wanting by creating a local override as you 
suggested.

For anyone else who is interested, I had to create a hidden folder 
".pandoc" in my home folder. I did this with the command mkdir ".pandoc". I 
was then able to drop a reference.docx file into that folder that pandoc 
now uses when outputting to docx. Related, a nice utility app that I 
discovered for showing hidden files and folders in the Finder is called 
invisibliX. I know you can also do this with command line but I'm still new 
to the shell and enjoy a user interface when I can get one :-)

Thanks again!

Phil
