<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos Serif",serif;color:black">I've been filing Docx applications for quite a while now. My process is to upload the docx file I created, download the USPTO scrubbed version, compare the two with
the built-in compare function of Word, and if there are no differences, then I file the application. At this point, the comparison rarely reveals any differences in the text (mostly because I preemptively remove all bookmarks, convert auto-numbering and cross-references
to text, etc., before uploading the Word file).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
