Microsoft Word Reader/Writer (FME Form Package)

FME can read and write Microsoft Word document features.

Note  The Microsoft Word writer must be used in conjunction with the MSWordStyler transformer, which styles features appropriately for this format.

The .docx file format has been the default Microsoft Word file format since the release of Word 2007. (The .doc file format is not officially supported.)

Integrating this Format with FME Form

This is a packaged format requiring a version of FME 2024.2 or greater (b24000+).

The reader will read images as rasters. It supports the following file types:

  • .bmp
  • .gif

  • .jpg

Writer Overview

The writer can either create a new document or append to the end of an existing base document. In both cases, the document will be saved in a new location so that the base file is not overwritten. Features are written one at a time, in the order they are received, and output to a .docx file.
