### Using the servlet to convert DOCX files

Let’s suppose your servlet container runs on host `localhost` and uses `8080` as its port. In order to use the “Word To XML” servlet, please point your Web browser to `http://localhost:8080/w2x/`. This will cause the browser to display a page containing a simple DOCX convert form.

The Convert DOCX form (servlet container running on host `192.168.1.202` and using port `8080`)

In order to convert a DOCX file to another format:

1. Click “Choose File” to select the DOCX file to be converted.
2. Select the desired output format using the “Output format” combobox.
3. Click Convert to download a `.zip` (or `.epub`) archive containing the result of the conversion. Generating this `.zip` (or `.epub`) file may take several seconds to several minutes depending on the size of the DOCX input file.

If the name of the DOCX input file contains non-ASCII characters (e.g. accented characters), please make sure to use Zip extractor software supporting `.zip` files having UTF-8 encoded filenames.

Note that most Zip extractor software do not support `.zip` files having UTF-8 encoded filenames[1]. Such extractors will succeed in unpacking the `.zip` file, but will generate files having incorrect names.

[1]However, “`jar xvf converted.zip`” works fine. `jar` is a command-line utility which comes with all Java Development Kits (JDK).
