Open, view, print and zoom Microsoft Word DocX documents.
DocX Reader is a small and simple program which provides you the ability to view DocX files which were produced with a modern version of Microsoft Word. You can use it to print documents but not edit them.
The interface of this application is pretty basic and opening and printing files is an easy task thanks to the icons presented.
The functionality of DocX Reader is pretty spot on and parsing of MS Word documents seems to be correct as is printing the documents. You can use the program to copy and paste text in to your word processor of choice like Open Office Writer.
Apart from opening and printing documents, the program isn't useful for much else and the developer does suggest using their paid applications if you're interested in a word processor.
In conclusion: DocX Reader is great for what it is and opens documents easily and without any formatting errors.
