Open and edit DOCX files for free without Word
How to edit the text and formatting of a DOCX document in your browser without installing Microsoft Word, then save it as DOCX.
This is a way to fix typos or tweak a few paragraphs in a DOCX document you received on a computer without Word.
How to do it with DocDori
- Open the DOCX file in the Workspace. The file is not uploaded to a server.
- Edit paragraphs while viewing them close to the original page layout. You can change bold, italic and underline, font, size and color, Heading 1–3, alignment, indentation, line spacing and lists.
- Press ‘Download edited copy’ to download a new DOCX file. The original’s styles, headers, footers and image placement are kept as is, and only the body is rewritten.
Good to know
- Hyperlinks, fields, tracked changes and some text boxes may be dropped from the edited copy, and DocDori tells you before saving.
- If the original fonts aren’t installed on this computer, line breaks and page breaks may look different.
- DOCM files with macros are saved as DOCX with the macros removed. See the Macro documents guide.
When this comes in handy
- When you just need to fix a typo or date in a draft contract you received and reply
- When you need to polish paragraphs of a cover letter or report on a computer without Word
- When you need to check the body of an old DOC, RTF or ODT document
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit documents that contain images? Documents with tables and PNG or JPEG images can be edited too, and the original image placement is kept when you save.
Are tracked changes kept? Tracked changes may be dropped from the edited copy, and DocDori tells you before saving. If you need the tracking history, work on the document in Word.
