Since you say you can’t open the DOCX version to format, here’s the alternative. Please copy everything below the “=====” line into an email. Answer all of the questions in the spaces between the prompts. We’ll do the work of creating a DOCX from your email.
It is very important that you make the subject line look just this way:
