View, download, and export

When we download a word document (that shows content when opened in dropbox) it is empty (blank).
What is the solution. I want people to be able to download this and not have to work with it in MS online.
Hello @charlesbank, thanks for reaching out to us here!
Can you try the following steps to see if there's any difference in the downloaded files there?
Let me know how it goes!

I'm having the same issue - tried it incognito as well. The document downloads with no content. When I open it in Word - it opens empty. It appears that something is happening when I "save as", since the original document appears to be fine and downloads correctly. Also - I'm finding some documents have the option to open in the Word program - others do not (including the document I'm referencing). I know this isn't your fault, but considering how much I have paid monthly for the past 5+ years the glitches are becoming a bit of a pain.
Hi @JChristine, what version of Word are you opening on your machine? Are the other documents also Word files? Are they located in the same or different folders?
Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
