# Create DOCX Output

**Applies to:** Lasernet 9

The DOCX format is an output format used for creating an output. The Form Engine retrieves data from the input file, processes it and adds defined fields to the output along with static elements and text added by a user while modifying the output in the Editor.

As an input, the **DataSet** format is always used.

Dealing with an output of the DOCX format, you can use a Microsoft Word type interface.

In this exercise, you are proposed to create an output in the DOCX format.

- The ORDER line: **Segoe UI**, **12 pt**, **Bold**;
- The rest lines: **Segoe UI**, **12 pt**.

1. You can then drag fields belonging to the nested table. To this end, select the required fields on the nested table by holding down the **CTRL** key while clicking your mouse button on each field you want to add in the required order. The following order is proposed:

- quantity
- productname
- unitprice

It can make creating and editing a report easier. To activate this mode, click **ALT+F9**. Your output can look then as follows:
