# MsOffice-Word-Surgeon Tamper wit the guts of Microsoft docx documents, with regexes This module supports a few operations for modifying or extracting text from Microsoft Word documents in '.docx' format -- therefore the name 'surgeon'. Since a surgeon does not give life, there is no support for creating fresh documents; if you have such needs, use one of the other packages listed in the L section. To my knowledge, this is the only solution (even in other languages) for applying regular expressions to the contents of Word documents.
