  • $\begingroup$ Does it really have to be a *.docx file? The format is quite complicated (essentially a zipped bunch of XML files) that maybe a text file would be less of a headache. $\endgroup$ – J. M.'s ennui♦ Sep 5 '17 at 2:44
  • $\begingroup$ @J.M. After I save it as .xml,then I import some XMLObject.That's confusing.. $\endgroup$ – yode Sep 5 '17 at 2:56
  • $\begingroup$ Yes, that's why I'm questioning you if it is really needed to deal with *.docx instead of, say, *.txt. $\endgroup$ – J. M.'s ennui♦ Sep 5 '17 at 2:58
  • $\begingroup$ @J.M. Maybe this is what you want to tell me. $\endgroup$ – yode Sep 5 '17 at 3:16
  • $\begingroup$ As I mentioned, a *.docx file is essentially a *.zip file in disguise; so, you might need to do something like Import["file.docx", "word\\document.xml"] (unfortunately I do not have Office or a *.docx file for testing). $\endgroup$ – J. M.'s ennui♦ Sep 5 '17 at 3:24

As this comment,I realize I can Save As my .doc file into .xml file.Then process it

file = Import["C:\\Users\\zyd199012\\Desktop\\file.xml"]
Export["file2.xml", 
 Replace[file, 
  "This is second line." :> "This is second Some Text line.", 
  Infinity]]

Then Save As it back into .docx file. Of course,if someone know how to use MMA convert the .docx file into a .xml file,the answer is expected still.
