A .docx file is simply a zip file with other files within it. Just find a package/module that can unzip it and look for the .xml file(s) that contains the data you need. ;) You can unzip one yourself and take a look. I used 7-zip to explore one and found two files with some document data in the docProps sub-path:

  • app.xml
  • core.xml

There are plenty to chose from I'm sure, but here is one: https://www.npmjs.com/package/unzip

If you are exporting from a Google doc, then that information may not be included.
