A complete word processor, in your browser
The ElniDocs editor for Word files opens your .docx files and lets you edit them as in an installed word processor: styles, headings, multilevel numbered lists, tables, images, headers and footers, footnotes, a table of contents. You save the result in Word format (.docx), which then opens in Microsoft Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs, or as a PDF to send it.
Everything happens on your device. The file is sent to no server, neither to ElniDocs nor to anyone else: cut your connection once the page has loaded, and the editor keeps working.
What you can do
- Write and format: fonts, sizes, colours, highlighting, superscripts, heading and paragraph styles.
- Structure: bulleted, numbered (1.1.1, a., i.) or check-box lists, numbered headings, a navigation pane, a table of contents.
- Insert tables (merged cells, shading, resizable columns), images, headers and footers, footnotes.
- Review: tracked changes and comments, kept in the .docx file.
- Compare two versions of a document: the differences show as tracked changes.
- Prepare a mail merge, then save as .docx or PDF.
Who is it for?
For fixing a contract or a CV received as a .docx on a computer without Microsoft Office. For working on a Chromebook, on Linux or on a work PC where nothing can be installed. For confidential documents that must not go through the cloud. For writing on the move, even without a connection.
Limits to know about
- Old .doc files (Word 97-2003) and .odt files do not open yet: save them as .docx first.
- There is no real-time co-writing: everyone works on their own copy, and comments and tracked changes stay in the file.
- Very elaborate layouts may differ slightly: check the result before an important send.
