Tools Word - The Main XML File in a .docx ZIP File

The main XML file contained in a .docx file is the document.xml located in the .\word\ sub-folder.

Obviously, the document.xml file contains text contents of the original word document. If you open document.xml in notepad, you should see some XML namespace declarations followed by the content of the original word document embedded in formatting XML tags, as shown below:
