MSDocs
Write, design and share real documents.
MSDocs is a word processor with a ribbon, live styles, tables, track changes, references and mail merge. It opens and saves DOCX files and exports PDF with selectable text.
Your files, your formats
Open and save DOCX, plus ODT, RTF, HTML, Markdown and plain text. Export PDF with real, selectable text, links and bookmarks.
Review together
Track changes, comment balloons in the margin, accept and reject, compare documents, spelling and grammar as you type.
Fast on long documents
Paragraph layout is cached, so typing in a 188-page document re-lays it out in about 1.4 ms. Spelling and grammar work offline.
Pictures, tables and styles
A page with a title, a picture and a formatted table, under a ribbon with Home, Insert, Design, Layout, References, Mailings and Review.
Headings and lists
A document with headings, a bulleted list and a table, with the Styles gallery and Editor tools in the ribbon.
