Creating a New Document
DOCX Editor Pro first displays a launch window before opening the main document editor. New documents can be created either from this launch window or from within the editor itself.
From the launch window, a blank document can be created directly:
On the launch window, select the New Document button.
Choose New Blank Document.
The main editor opens with a new empty document.
Templates can also be used as a starting point from the same launch window. This is useful when a predefined layout or style is required, such as for letters or reports. Select New Document, then choose Create from Templates, and pick a template from the list. The editor opens with content and formatting based on the selected template.
A third option is available from inside the document editor window. When the editor is already open, a new document can be created through the main menu:
Open the File menu in the document editor.
Select Create New.
A new document tab is created, ready for editing.
Opening Existing Documents
DOCX Editor Pro opens existing documents from the launch window or directly from the editor. All common Word-compatible formats supported by Microsoft Word or LibreOffice can be selected using these options.
When the app starts, the launch window displays shortcuts for opening files and a list of recently used documents. Additional files can always be opened later from the File menu in the editor window.
To open a file from the launch window:
Select the Open Document button.
In the file selection dialog, browse to the folder containing the document, select the file, and confirm to open it in the editor.
Files can also be dragged from File Explorer and dropped onto the launch window area labeled Or drag-n-drop files here. The document opens automatically in a new editor window or tab.
The Recent list on the launch window provides quick access to documents that were opened previously. Selecting a file entry in this list reopens the document from its saved location. The Clear All link removes entries from the recent list without deleting any actual files.
When a document editor window is already open, additional documents can be opened from the menu:
In the editor window, open the File menu.
Select Open and choose the required file in the dialog, then confirm to load it into the editor.
Editing and Formatting Text
Text in DOCX Editor Pro is edited directly in the main document area. New content is entered at the cursor position, and existing content can be updated, moved, or removed as required.
To change existing text, the relevant portion must be selected first. Clicking and dragging with the mouse selects characters, words, or paragraphs. The keyboard can also be used by holding Shift and pressing the arrow keys. Standard clipboard commands such as Cut, Copy, and Paste remain available.
Select the required text using the mouse or by holding Shift with the arrow keys.
Use the formatting toolbar to change font, font size, bold, italic, underline, text color, or highlight for the selected text.
Apply paragraph formatting such as Align Left, Center, Align Right, Justify, and create bulleted or numbered lists from the same toolbar.
Use Ctrl + Z to undo the last change and Ctrl + Y to redo it if needed.
Paragraph-level controls manage indentation, line spacing, and list structure, helping longer documents stay consistent and easy to read. Right-clicking selected text opens a context menu with the most common actions, including Cut, Copy, Paste, and basic formatting commands, so frequent edits can be made without leaving the editing area.
Spell Checking
Spell checking in DOCX Editor Pro highlights possible spelling mistakes in the document. Words that are not recognized in the selected dictionary language are underlined with a red line while typing.
The spell checker uses a document language. This language can be changed at any time from the status bar. Setting the correct language improves the accuracy of suggestions and helps avoid false positives for common words.
On the status bar at the bottom-right of the editor window, select the Document Language control.
In the language list, choose the required language and confirm.
A different language can be applied to a specific passage instead of the whole document. Select the text first, then choose the Text Language option on the status bar and pick the appropriate language. This is useful for documents that contain quotations, names, or phrases in other languages.
Spell checking can be turned on or off as needed. The quickest method is through the spell-checker icon on the status bar; when enabled, misspelled words are underlined, and when disabled, no underlines appear. The same option is also available in advanced settings under the Proofing section, together with additional controls such as ignoring words in uppercase or with numbers.
Right-clicking a word that is marked as incorrect opens a context menu with suggestions and actions. Common options include replacing the word with one of the proposed alternatives, ignoring the marked word once or for all occurrences, adding it to a custom dictionary so it is no longer treated as an error, or changing the language used for that specific word.
Saving and Managing Documents
Saving documents regularly helps keep changes stored safely and makes it easier to continue work later. DOCX Editor Pro uses standard file operations similar to Microsoft Word and LibreOffice, with support for common document formats such as .docx, .doc, and .odt.
The current document can be saved at any time while editing. The main toolbar usually includes a Save icon, and the File menu provides both Save and Save As commands. For new documents, a file name, location, and format must be chosen before the first save is completed.
To save changes to an existing file, select File > Save or press Ctrl + S.
To save a copy under a different name or in another folder, select File > Save As.
In the Save dialog, choose a folder, enter a File name, select a Save as type (for example .docx), then confirm with Save.
Saving in .docx format is recommended for best compatibility with other word processors. When working with older formats such as .doc, the editor may convert the file internally to support modern features. The converted document can then be saved in a newer format to avoid compatibility warnings.
Document management tasks such as renaming, copying, or moving files are handled in File Explorer. After closing a document in DOCX Editor Pro, the file can be managed like any other file in Windows, including moving it to another folder, backing it up, or deleting it if no longer needed.
Printing Documents
Printed copies are produced through the standard Windows printing system. DOCX Editor Pro sends the document to any printer installed on the system, including physical printers and virtual PDF printers.
Printing is started from within the document editor. The current view and page layout (margins, orientation, and paper size) affect the final output, so it is recommended to confirm these settings before sending large documents to the printer. A print preview, if available, can help verify page breaks and general layout.
Open the document that needs to be printed in DOCX Editor Pro.
Select File > Print or use the Print icon on the toolbar (where available).
In the Print dialog, choose the target Printer, set Copies, and define the Page range (such as All, Current page, or a custom range).
Adjust other options such as Orientation (Portrait or Landscape) and paper setup if required, then confirm with Print.
For documents that need careful layout control, a preview step is helpful. If a Print Preview command is available in the File menu or toolbar, it can be used to review how content fits on the page before printing.
If printing does not start, checking the printer status in Windows, verifying that the correct device is selected, and ensuring the printer is online usually resolves common issues.
Exporting Documents to Other Formats
DOCX Editor Pro uses the File > Save As command to create copies of a document in other formats. The original file remains unchanged, while the new copy is stored in the chosen format and folder. This is useful when a document needs to be shared, archived, or opened in another application such as Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, an eBook reader, or an image viewer.
To export the current document:
In the editor window, select File > Save As.
Choose the destination folder where the new file should be stored.
Open the Save as type list and choose the required format, such as DOCX, DOTX, ODT, RTF, TXT, HTML, FB2, EPUB, PDF, PDF/A, PNG, or JPG.
Enter a File name if needed, then confirm with Save.
Saving in DOCX is recommended for ongoing editing and best compatibility with word processors. Formats such as PDF or PDF/A are suited for distributing a fixed-layout version that should not be changed. RTF, TXT, and HTML provide options for interoperability with systems that require simple or structured text. FB2 and EPUB are helpful when the content will be viewed in eBook software, while PNG and JPG allow pages to be stored as image files for use in other documents or presentations.
Some export formats may not preserve complex layout details, advanced objects, or all interactive elements. When exact formatting is important, keeping a master copy in DOCX and using Save As to create PDF or image versions for distribution is generally the safest approach.

Tips for Everyday Use
DOCX Editor Pro behaves similarly to familiar word processors such as Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer, so most everyday work follows the same habits. A few simple practices help keep documents organized and prevent unexpected data loss.
Saving frequently is one of the most effective safeguards. Short save actions during editing are much faster than recovering work after a problem. Keeping a clear folder structure also makes it easier to find important documents later.
Use Ctrl + S regularly while working, especially before printing or using File > Save As to another format.
Keep a main editable copy in DOCX or ODT, and create PDF or image versions only when needed for sharing.
Before major edits, consider creating a duplicate using File > Save As with a new file name as a backup.
Consistent formatting improves readability. Using paragraph styles and list tools instead of manual spacing makes documents easier to maintain when content changes. Aligning text, setting proper headings, and using the same fonts across documents contributes to a more professional result.
File management outside the editor is also important. Periodic backups using cloud storage, external drives, or version control systems reduce the risk of losing valuable work if a device fails or files are accidentally deleted.
