The file is in the Calibre Library and I changed the doc extension to be py once I was sure the code was correct (i hope)
Because of the space in "Calibre Library" you must use the command line
Code:
calibre-debug.exe "C:\Users\Jenny\Documents\Calibre Library\calibre-add-format-blank-txt.py"
I am not sure you can simply change the extension. The file cannot be internally a .doc, but must be a .txt. I suggest you open the .py file with notepad and see what you get. If it is gibberish then copy the text from eschwartz' original post, paste it into notepad, then redo the change for your library.
