What is a .docx file?

DOCX is the default Microsoft Word format, an Office Open XML document packaged as a ZIP archive of XML parts, media, and relationships. It stores structured text, styles, tables, images, and metadata. It is the dominant format for editable word-processing documents.

How to use this file

Use an example DOCX to test Office Open XML parsing, text and style extraction, ZIP-package handling, and converters that render or transform Word documents.

How to use this file for testing

“Data Processing Addendum (DOCX, SAMPLE)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Templates, Privacy export testing. Professional, neutral starting-point documents you can download and adapt — invoices, resumes, budgets, and more.

Documented properties for this file: DPA. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

This template ships filled with realistic sample content and documented fields and formulas. Download it as a starting point, or point a converter/parser at it — format twins (for example DOCX↔PDF) let you diff conversion fidelity.

Code examples

from docx import Document  # pip install python-docx

doc = Document("dpa-sample.docx")
for p in doc.paragraphs[:10]:
    print(p.text)
