SDL Trados 2017 Freelance v. 14.1.10017.54688

Hello!
I'm having a problem with the LegIt plug-in, v. 1.1, 2017. When I try to convert a .doc file (Microsoft Word 97-2003) into a Bilingual Doc, I get the "completed" message in the log, but when I open the folder where the .doc file is, there is no converted file. Hence, I assume that it does not convert my file, as I do not see any .bak file alongside what should be the converted .doc.
I have followed all the usual steps

Hello!
I'm having a problem with the LegIt plug-in, v. 1.1, 2017. When I try to convert a .doc file (Microsoft Word 97-2003) into a Bilingual Doc, I get the "completed" message in the log, but when I open the folder where the .doc file is, there is no converted file. Hence, I assume that it does not convert my file, as I do not see any .bak file alongside what should be the converted .doc.
I have followed all the usual steps: 1. checking the Bilingual doc box; 2. selecting a file; 3. choosing a source and target language and then clicking "convert".
Am I doing something wrong or is the plug-in to blame? If the plug-in is the problem, I heard that the stand-alone app works without issues. But, as it is not avalaible for download any longer, would you know where I could find it or could any of you send me the app so I can install it?

P. S.: Trying to convert the file into a .TTX format yields the same result.
