Generally all this helps. One more question and one comment.

The question. You said I need to add a special command line for rar 5 format. But the command line (in PA's RAR Support) calls "rar.exe." Since I have version 5 installed, I assumed that would create an archive with the rar5 format. If not, what special line or switch would I need?

The comment -- and again I realize the files (more PDF than docx) might be atypical -- but WinRar 5 created it much faster with the same size as 7z and slightly smaller than zipx.
