Docx4j Helper AddIn - 2025

[jason]

Here is a new installer, signed with a refreshed certificate: https://www.docx4java.org/docx4j/Docx4j ... -2-1-3.exe

This is a VSTO AddIn for Word running on Windows only. Functionality wise, this is identical to the previous release, so no need to update if you have that installed already.

This AddIn allows you to see your XML and generate corresponding docx4j Java code directly within Word. So for example, you can create a docx on the fly containing the structure you want, then generate corresponding code inside Word. No need to save the docx. (Or you could open a pre-existing docx if you wanted)

Note: it currently generates code referencing javax.xml.bind not jakarta.xml.bind, so if you have a docx4j v11.4 or v11.5 project, you will need to change those references to jakarta.xml.bind. Apart from that, the generated code should work fine with the latest docx4j.

Since everything is done locally, there is no possible leakage of your content to the Internet. An alternative to this AddIn is the docx4j webapp, at http://webapp.docx4java.org/ but that does require you to upload a docx. If your content is sensitive, you could anonymise it first locally, if you install docx4j then use https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/ ... ingle.java

If you have any issues installing this AddIn, please post a message, including:
- full version of Word (from Word > Account > About Word)
- install location of WINWORD.EXE
- Windows version
- .NET version
- any error message you see

To get your .NET Framework version, go to Start menu > Control Panel.
Click “Programs” or “Programs and Features” or “Programs and Apps" or whatever (Microsoft keeps changing the name).
Scroll down to “Microsoft .NET Framework”.
