Hi,

if someone wants to use LiveDocx Services from Zend Framework in MODX Revo to create .docx files using MODX - maybe these tips can help.

Content-Type
Set up a new content-type called "DOCX" with these settings:

MIME-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats .docx
File-Type: .docx
Binary: Yes

I also added the MIME-Type to the ht.access file, maybe it wasn’t necessary:
```
AddType  application/vnd.openxmlformats  .docx
```
Ressource
Create a new document with the empty template. Place the cached snippet with the LiveDocx call in it. If you make it un-cached, it won’t work! (Perhaps I messed something up in another place, but for me, it just worked cached...)

Set Content-Type to "DOCX" and Content-Disposition to "attachment". Make ressource uncached.

Snippet-Code
```
//Load Zend
define('LIBRARY_PATH', '/pathToZendLibraryfolder/libraries/'); // Update as appropriate
ini_set('include_path',
ini_get('include_path') . PATH_SEPARATOR . LIBRARY_PATH);
require_once 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php';
$loader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();

//LiveDocx
$phpLiveDocx = new Zend_Service_LiveDocx_MailMerge();
 
$phpLiveDocx->setUsername('yourLiveDocxUsername')
            ->setPassword('yourLiveDocxPassword');
 
$phpLiveDocx->setRemoteTemplate('templateName.docx');

$phpLiveDocx->assign('MergeField1', 'data')
            ->assign('MergeField2', 'data');
 
$phpLiveDocx->createDocument();
$document = $phpLiveDocx->retrieveDocument('docx');

return $document;
```
I hope it will help you.
