What Is a DOCX File?

DOCX is the file format used by Microsoft Word.

DOCX is the file format used by Microsoft Word. DOCX files are fully editable and widely compatible, which makes them useful for documentation that needs to be reviewed, commented on, edited, or customized by others.

Because so many organizations already work in Word, exporting documentation to DOCX makes it easy to hand off content for collaboration or to fit existing templates and branding.
