# Microsoft Word DOCX format

Support for converting [PSML](/reference/glossary/psml.md) documents to DOCX and DOCX to PSML is a standard feature of PageSeeder. Available when viewing a document, there is a standard conversion that processes any PSML document without modification.

In addition, DOCX files can be converted into PageSeeder documents when uploading.

As well as the standard import / export functionality, how DOCX files are processed is customizable. For further detail, *see* the following:
