About DocBase

DocBase is a desktop word processor that opens and saves Word files and works without an internet connection. It has the tools of a full word processor in a familiar ribbon with File, Home, Insert, Design, Layout, References, Review, View and Mailings tabs.

Features

Works with Word files

Open and save .docx with styles, headers, tables, images, comments and tracked changes intact. Password-protected files open too.

Real page layout

Margins, columns, sections with their own page setup, page borders, watermarks and true page breaks.

References

Tables of contents, footnotes and endnotes, captions, citations, a bibliography and an index with page numbers.

Review and track changes

Comments, Track Changes, Compare, spelling and grammar checks, and a version history kept on every save.

Mail merge

Merge a list of recipients into letters, labels and envelopes, then preview each one before you finish.

Charts, shapes and equations

Insert tables, pictures, charts, shapes, SmartArt, WordArt, text boxes and equations.

Lao text done right

Phetsarath OT and Noto Sans Lao are built in, so Lao text displays correctly, even in files from Google Docs.

Private by design

No account and no sign-in. DocBase works offline and your documents stay on your computer.
