Can't import a docx file in Indesign Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation

I do it everytime but this time, I can't.

When i import a word .docx file, I have a error message :

"Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation."

I tried with a rtf file or doc file, I cut and paste on an new docx file... and it is the same...

Ok, found it (after I uninstall everything :D)

I got a "é" in my access path. Indesign is not calibrated for French people 😄

Hi Elle,

nevertheless, importing that file should work.

Could you share a copy of the docx file; it could contain only a single word?

Was the "é" in the folder name where the docx file was positioned?

What's the exact version of your InDesign?
What operating system version?
