Answer 1

I know this is an old post, but doctemplater has moved on and the accepted answer no longer works. This worked for me:

function loadDocx(filename) {
  // Read document.xml from docx document
  const AdmZip = require("adm-zip");
  const zip = new AdmZip(filename);
  const xml = zip.readAsText("word/document.xml");
  // Load xml DOM
  const cheerio = require('cheerio');
  $ = cheerio.load(xml, {
    normalizeWhitespace: true,
    xmlMode: true
  })
  // Extract text
  let out = new Array()
  $('w\\:t').each((i, el) => {
    out.push($(el).text())
  })
  return out
}
