- DOCX is a file format for Microsoft Word documents. It was introduced in 2007 with the release of Microsoft Office 2007. DOCX files are based on the Open XML standard, which is a more open and extensible format than the older DOC format.
- A DOCX native experience means that users can interact with DOCX files directly, without having to convert them to another format first. This is important because it allows users to take advantage of all the features that DOCX offers, such as rich formatting, tables, and images.
- Some examples of a DOCX native experience include:
- Being able to open and edit DOCX files directly in Microsoft Word or other word processing software that supports the DOCX format.
- Being able to preview DOCX files in web browsers and other applications without having to download them first.
- Being able to use cloud-based services to collaborate on DOCX files with other users.

- Office Open XML (also informally known as OOXML) is a zipped, XML-based file format developed by Microsoft for representing spreadsheets, charts, presentations and word processing documents. Ecma International standardized the initial version as ECMA-376. ISO and IEC standardized later versions as ISO/IEC 29500. Microsoft Office 2010 provides read support for ECMA-376, full support for ISO/IEC 29500 Transitional, and read support for ISO/IEC 29500 Strict. Microsoft Office 2013 and later fully support ISO/IEC 29500 Strict, but do not use it as the default file format because of backwards compatibility concerns.
