## About Xceed DocX

Xceed DocX is a .NET library that allows C#, F#, and VB.NET developers to manipulate Microsoft Word files in an easy and intuitive manner. Xceed DocX is fast, lightweight, and self-sufficient without dependencies on third-party software such as Microsoft Word or Office suites.

### Functionalities

- Manipulate Word documents with an easy and intuitive API created for developers. It does not use COM libraries, nor does it require Microsoft Office to be installed.
- Create or modify Microsoft Word documents programmatically with the main Microsoft Office Word elements, such as formatting and styling.
- Work with important Microsoft Word features like pictures, sections, headers and footers, charts, lists, hyperlinks, and tables, to name a few.
- Perform actions on your documents, such as joining documents together, adding page numbering, applying a template, or performing search and replace operations.
- Use DocX on .NET 5+ apps and create company reports, invoices, or mail merge documents.
