Export Word

Download the current document as a .docx file.

Setup

Start with the packages in Getting Started. This complete example registers the feature and renders its UI. In an existing editor, merge the imports and extension entries into your setup, and place the controls inside your existing RichTextProvider.

tsx

'use client';

import { EditorContent, useEditor } from '@tiptap/react';
import { Document } from '@tiptap/extension-document';
import { Paragraph } from '@tiptap/extension-paragraph';
import { Text } from '@tiptap/extension-text';
import { RichTextProvider } from 'reactjs-tiptap-editor';
import { ExportWord, RichTextExportWord } from 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/exportword';
import 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/style.css';

const extensions = [Document, Paragraph, Text, ExportWord];

export default function ExportWordExample() {
  const editor = useEditor({
    extensions,
    content: '<p>Try this feature here.</p>',
    immediatelyRender: false,
  });

  if (!editor) return null;

  return (
    <RichTextProvider editor={editor}>
      <RichTextExportWord />
      <EditorContent editor={editor} />
    </RichTextProvider>
  );
}

How to use

Click the toolbar button or call editor.commands.exportToWord(editor.state.doc). The download uses richtext-export-document.docx. The current serializer excludes images and does not define mappings for every custom node or mark; test your document’s feature set before relying on Word export.

Loading behavior

The Word serializer loads when export is requested. exportToWord returns a Tiptap command boolean immediately; it does not return a promise indicating that the download has finished. Serialization and download happen asynchronously, and failures are logged to the console. editor.can().exportToWord(editor.state.doc) does not load the serializer or start a download.
