What Is a DOCX File?
DOCX is the Office Open XML document format introduced in Microsoft Word 2007. It is a ZIP-based container holding XML files that describe the document's content, styles, images, and metadata. DOCX replaced the older binary .doc format and became an international standard (ISO/IEC 29500:2008). It supports complex formatting including tables, inline images, headers/footers, numbered lists, track changes, comments, and embedded objects.
