.DOCX File
What is it?
DOCX is Microsoft Word's modern document format (an XML-based ZIP archive), used for text documents, resumes, letters, and reports.
How do I open it?
Opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, or Apple Pages — all free alternatives to Word can open it.
Is it safe?
Usually, but DOCX files can contain macros — small embedded programs occasionally used to spread malware. Only enable macros in documents from senders you trust.
Can I delete it?
Safe to delete once you no longer need the document.
