How do I see the XML of my DOCX document?
It's a zipped file. Rename it ending in .zip
to view it.
Working on macOS, and don't want to install any software to see the XML from your .docx
documents? Just open up the terminal and:
cd path/to/your/file.docx
unzip file.docx -d file-content
As mentioned above, .docx
files are "disguised" zip files, and unzip
is installed by default on macOS. After using it, your file-content
folder will contain the various .xml
files composing the Word document.
