How do you convert a .docx file to a .cmtx file for eSword ? I have a .pdf that was converted to a .docx file and want to make a eSword commentary cmtx file. Has anyone a understandable way of doing this? i would appreciate any assistance.

Modules for e-Sword are created using a program called e-Sword Tooltip NT which is a word processor designed by a e-Sword user. With this program you can create all of the different types of modules e-Sword uses including bible, commentaries, dictionaries, and reference works. 

e-Sword Tooltip NT can be downloaded from this site:

To accomplish the specific task of converting a docx file to an e-Sword cmtx file you will first need to save the docx file as an rtf (Rich Text Format) this can be done by opening the docx file in MS-Word and then saving it as an RTF file.

The RTF file can then be opened in e-Sword Tooltip NT and be made into a cmtx module

I believe I can download and run the resulting .cmtx file on my iPad. Am I correct?

No, you need also to convert the cmtx file into an cmti (Apple version) with the "apple convertor".

You can create both cmtx and cmti modules using e-Sword Tooltip

e-Sword Tooltip Tool NT can read .DOCX files.

So, to recap: I can take a .docx file and convert it to a .cmti file for iPad in e-Sword Tooltip Tool. Nothing else needs to be done ??

T4 can read .docx files.  You must still format it appropriately in order to create a .cmti file.  See the T4 user guide.
