Live demo
This demo shows the core DOCX round-trip: import a Word document, edit it in a Tiptap editor configured with basic formatting extensions, and export back to DOCX. It covers text formatting, headings, lists, tables, and images, but does not include paginated layout or multi-format export.
What this demo includes
This demo is configured with the core extensions needed for DOCX conversion:
- Text formatting: Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, text color, highlight, and font family
- Block structure: Headings (H1-H3), bullet and ordered lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules
- Tables: Basic table support with header rows
- Images: Inline images (via URL)
- Text alignment: Left, center, right, justify
- Page breaks: Imported as visual dividers (no paginated layout)
You can also load a sample document using the "Use DOCX Template" button to see a pre-built example without uploading your own file.
What this demo does not include
This is a focused demo of the DOCX round-trip. It does not cover every feature the conversion pipeline supports:
- No paginated layout: The Pages extension is not included, so there are no visual pages, headers, footers, or page numbers. Page breaks import as dividers but don't flow content across pages.
- DOCX only: The demo exports to DOCX. Other formats (PDF, ODT, EPUB, DOC, Markdown) are available through separate extensions.
- Default export styles: The export uses Tiptap's default styling (Aptos 11pt, standard heading sizes). Custom
styleOverridesare not configured. See Styling converted content for how to customize this. - Limited toolbar: The color and font options are hardcoded presets. A production editor would typically include a full color picker and font selector.

What to look for
When you import a document, compare the editor output to the original:
- Text formatting carries through: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, text color, highlight, font family, and font size all survive the round-trip.
- Document structure is preserved: headings maintain their hierarchy, lists keep their nesting, tables retain their layout with merged cells and column widths.
- What changes: Paragraph-level styling like spacing, indentation, and Word theme colors are not rendered in the editor. The exported DOCX uses Tiptap's default styles rather than the original document's styles. See Styling converted content for how to control the visual appearance.
