What Is a DOCX File?
DOCX is the format of Microsoft Word since 2007 and the working standard for editable documents: letters, reports, CVs. Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages open it too. DOCX is a format rather than a compression method — zipped XML with styles, images and fonts references. What is inside decides the quality.
