Overview
A user may ask you to create, edit, or analyze the contents of a .docx file. A .docx file is essentially a ZIP archive containing XML files and other resources that you can read or edit. You have different tools and workflows available for different tasks.
Workflow Decision Tree
Reading/Analyzing Content
Use "Text extraction" or "Raw XML access" sections below
Creating New Document
Use "Creating a new Word document" workflow
Editing Existing Document
-
Your own document + simple changes
Use "Basic OOXML editing" workflow
-
Someone else's document
Use "Redlining workflow" (recommended default)
-
Legal, academic, business, or government docs
Use "Redlining workflow" (required)
Reading and analyzing content
Text extraction
If you just need to read the text contents of a document, you should convert the document to markdown using pandoc. Pandoc provides excellent support for preserving document structure and can show tracked changes:
pandoc --track-changes=all path-to-file.docx -o output.md
Raw XML access
You need raw XML access for: comments, complex formatting, document structure, embedded media, and metadata. For any of these features, you'll need to unpack a document and read its raw XML contents.
Unpacking a file
python ooxml/scripts/unpack.py <office_file> <output_directory>
Key file structures
word/document.xml - Main document contentsword/comments.xml - Comments referenced in document.xmlword/media/ - Embedded images and media files- Tracked changes use
<w:ins> (insertions) and <w:del> (deletions) tags
