open-docx

This tool allows you to quickly split open a docx file. It is not a smart tool, it has no magic, and its interface is less than stellar. It is really meant to just unzip a docx and reformat the XML for human legibility.

Installation

npm install open-docx

This will make a open-docx tool available on your command line.

Usage

NOTE: This tool largely shells out a lot. It assumes you have the following in your path: cp, unzip, and xmllint.

Just run:

open-docx path/to/document.docx output/directory

The output directory must not exist and will be created (but not at arbitrary depth).
