I also received a full request on the 11th and sent a .docx file. I didn't think twice about it — I thought she was simply noting that she didn't want a PDF. I didn't receive a confirmation of receipt either, but I've found the auto-reply doesn't always kick in when sending a full.
Fingers crossed for you (us)!
