+## What is DocX?
+
+DocX is a .NET library that allows developers to manipulate Word 2007/2010/2013 files, in an easy and intuitive manner. DocX is fast, lightweight and best of all it does not require Microsoft Word or Office to be installed.
+
+DocX is available on [Codeplex](https://docx.codeplex.com/) and [GitHub](https://github.com/WordDocX/DocX). We will try to update both.
+
+## DocX Author
+
+DocX was written by a PhD student **Cathal Coffey** studying at the National University of Ireland Maynooth. 
+If you have found DocX useful and would like to buy Cathal lunch then you can do so via a paypal [donation](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=GHSZDFX6JHS2A&lc=GB&item_name=DocX%20library&currency_code=EUR&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG_global%2egif%3aNonHosted).

+
+## Cutting Edge
+
+If you do not wish to wait for the next stable release of DocX.dll, you can build your own copy from the [latest source code](http://docx.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets#).
+
+## What else do I need?
+
+All that you need to install in order to use DocX is the [.NET framework 4.0](http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=9cfb2d51-5ff4-4491-b0e5-b386f32c0992&displaylang=en) and [Visual Studio 2010](http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/) or later, both of which are free.
+
+## What are the main features of DocX?

+
+## Why would I use DocX?
+
+DocX makes creating and manipulating documents a simple task. It does not use COM libraries nor does it require Microsoft Office to be installed. 
+
+The following [blog post](http://cathalscorner.blogspot.com/2010/06/cathal-why-did-you-create-docx.html) compares the code used to create a HelloWorld document using:
+ 1. Office Interop libraries, 
+ 2. OOXML SDK, 
+ 3. DocX
+
+## How can I learn more?
+
+I have dedicated a blog to DocX. I regularly post new code examples [here](http://cathalscorner.blogspot.com/). The below videos are also excellent tutorials on how to use DocX.
