What is a .docx file?
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
DOCX is the default Microsoft Word format, an Office Open XML document packaged as a ZIP archive of XML parts, media, and relationships. It stores structured text, styles, tables, images, and metadata. It is the dominant format for editable word-processing documents.
How to use a .docx file
Use an example DOCX to test Office Open XML parsing, text and style extraction, ZIP-package handling, and converters that render or transform Word documents.

- Formatted DOCXA Word document with styled headings, bold/italic runs, a table, and an embedded image, for testing DOCX parsers and converters against a rich document.
- Plain DOCXA minimal Word document of plain paragraphs with no styling: the simplest valid DOCX for baseline parser testing.
- DOCX with Tracked ChangesA Word document with real tracked changes (insertions and deletions attributed to two reviewers with timestamps) for testing how tools read, accept, reject, or preserve revisions.
- DOCX with CommentsA Word document with two anchored reviewer comments, for testing comment extraction and whether converters preserve or drop review annotations.
- DOCX with Core and Custom PropertiesA valid DOCX package with fixed core properties and two custom properties surrounding an unchanged word/document.xml part.
- DOCX with Metadata StrippedThe same DOCX document part without core or custom property parts, suitable for checking OOXML metadata removal without content loss.
- Alder Table Bistro: Printed menu as a Word documentPrinted menu as a Word document for Alder Table Bistro. The same 4 dishes and 3 sections as printed-menu.pdf, laid out as 3 two column Word tables with the price cell right aligned, so the identical layout can be read through a different parser. Core properties are stamped to 2026-09-08 and the package timestamps are fixed, so two runs produce identical bytes.
- Juniper Corner Cafe: Printed menu as a Word documentPrinted menu as a Word document for Juniper Corner Cafe. The same 4 dishes and 2 sections as printed-menu.pdf, laid out as 2 two column Word tables with the price cell right aligned, so the identical layout can be read through a different parser. Core properties are stamped to 2026-09-08 and the package timestamps are fixed, so two runs produce identical bytes.
