I am sure this has been answered before but I don't find a topic in the posts

1. Our components do not have methods for saving and loading DOCX files. You can only do it using TRVOfficeConverter component. This component uses import and export converters (DLLs).
Problems:
- the converters are installed with MS Office, so MS Office is required (they are available as a free separate download from the Microsoft site, but I am not sure can they be installed on the computer without any Office).
- quality of conversion may be worse than with RTF files, because converters may lose some formatting information.
2. Yes, document can be copy-pasted (and drag-dropped) between TRichViewEdit and MS Word. It happens with the maximal possible quality, via RTF format. Of course, only information supported by the both editors can be copy-pasted. For example, when copying from MS Word to TRichViewEdit, TRichViewEdit ignores floating objects and drawing shapes. When copying from TRichViewEdit, some features like gif animation or table background images cannot be copied, because they cannot be stored in RTF.

TRVOfficeConverter is one of components included in the TRichView package.
You can find a simple demo for it in Demos\*\OfficeConveters\ folders.
RichViewActions use TRVOfficeConverter for importing and exporting files.
It uses the converters-DLLs installed with MS Office 2007 or newer.
The converters can be downloaded separately from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=3 . I hope they can be installed on any computer, even without any version of MS Office.

I did not tested the latest version of MS Office yet, but, as far as I remember, MS Word 2013 does not include any export converter, and includes a single import converter - PDF.
While the old converters used RTF as an internal format, new converters use DocX. So, without native DocX reading, it's not possible to implement import converters.
Native DocX export is implemented (you replied to an old topic, these posts were written when DocX export was not implemented yet; now you can use SaveDocX and SaveDocXToStream methods, no converters are needed)
Native DocX import is planned, but after FireMonkey version.
