Description

Writes a file to disk.
File extension should be correct, either docx or xml depending on what you loaded.
May break if newer versions of Microsoft Word or Office change the docx file format.

See FileDialog functions if you like to show a save dialog to pick a destination for the file path.

This function requires a native path. Use Path.FileMakerPathToNativePath to convert a FileMaker path to a native path if required. If you like to have the user choose the path, you can use FileDialog functions.
For Server be aware that server has limited permissions and may not be able to access all files on a computer.
