DOCX is a file format used for representing the documents natively created by Microsoft Office Word 2007 and later. Frequently used for business or academic papers, this format supports text, formatting settings, drawn objects and styles.
DOCX format stores document data as a collection of distinct files and folders compressed using ZIP method.
Moreover, DOCX also requires specialized applications in order to be converted to other formats.
Considering DOCX is not widely supported, users convert their DOCX files to other formats that can be accessed and managed by a wider range of software utilities.
While most DOCX converters will simply export the file to other formats, there are also some utilities that will allow users to preview the contents of file.
