I made a Pull Request in your Rails repo: https://github.com/pellibr/prc3/pull/1

The problem is not in the gem. The problem is in our code. Check my Pul Request: https://github.com/pellibr/prc3/pull/1

heyyy, sorry, Ive lost that repo, but it was about the rails root folder

when you going go save your edited document with the gem you have to use like this:

doc_to_save = doc.save(Rails.root.join("tmp/example.docx").to_s)

please check it out how are you doing
