This tutorial covers two methods for loading Microsoft Word documents into a document format that can be used in RAG.
We will demonstrate the usage of Docx2txtLoader and UnstructuredWordDocumentLoader , exploring their functionalities to process and load .docx files effectively.
Additionally, we provide a comparison to help users choose the appropriate loader for their requirements.
Used Library : A lightweight Python module such as docx2txt for text extraction.
Key Features :
Extracts text from .docx files quickly and simply.
Suitable for efficient and straightforward tasks.
Use Case :
When you need to quickly retrieve text data from .docx files.
UnstructuredWordDocumentLoader
Used Library : A comprehensive document analysis library called unstructured .
Key Features :
Capable of understanding the structure of a document, such as titles and body, and separating them into distinct elements.
Allows hierarchical representation and detailed processing of documents.
Extracts meaningful information from unstructured data and transforms it into structured formats.
Use Case :
When you need to extract text while preserving the document's structure, formatting, and metadata.

strategy
None (default)
No specific strategy is applied.
fast
Prioritizes speed (may reduce accuracy).
hi_res
Prioritizes high accuracy (slower processing).
include_page_breaks
True (default)
Detects page breaks and adds PageBreak elements.
False
Ignores page breaks.
infer_table_structure
True (default)
Infers table structure and includes it in HTML format.
