# Microsoft Word Loader This loader extracts the text from a local Microsoft Word (.docx) file. Non-text items in the document are ignored. A single local file is passed in each time you call `load_data`. ## Usage To use this loader, you need to pass in a `Path` to a local file. ```python from pathlib import Path from llama_index import download_loader DocxReader = download_loader("DocxReader") loader = DocxReader() documents = loader.load_data(file=Path('./homework.docx')) ``` This loader is designed to be used as a way to load data into [LlamaIndex](https://github.com/jerryjliu/gpt_index/tree/main/gpt_index) and/or subsequently used as a Tool in a [LangChain](https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain) Agent.
