DOCX Format
The DOCX file type is primarily associated with 'Word' by Microsoft Corporation.
Office Word is an authoring program that gives you the ability to create and share documents using a set of writing tools.
This is the new format for Microsoft Office documents (2007). It is a combination of XML architecture and ZIP compression for size reduction. Microsoft promises the format will be open (published for anyone to use) and prior versions of Office, using components provided by Microsoft for Office 2000, XP, and 2003 will be available to perform document conversion. Remember that these are promises by Microsoft. We have yet to see the actuals.
