As of version 9.1 (September 16, 2019), XMLmind DITA Editor Professional 
Edition is not bundled with the "Word To XML" add-on 
(http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/addons_doc.html#word_to_xml) anymore.

Moreover, if you use menu item "Options|Install Add-ons" to download and 
install the "Word To XML" add-on, then this add-on will run in 
*evaluation* *mode*, that is, it replaces random words by "[XMLmind]".

Therefore  XMLmind DITA Editor Professional Edition does NOT provide the 
option to convert DOCX to XML. Only XMLmind XML Editor Professional 
Edition can do that. This is explained here: "Which editor to choose?",

The "Word To XML" add-on cannot do that no matterin which edition of 
XMLmind you install it.

If you really need this functionality then you must purchase a separate, 
standalone, product called "XMLmind Word To XML". See 
http://www.xmlmind.com/index.html

The least expensive license (XMLmind Word To XML Professional Edition
Desktop License; see http://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/price_list.html) comes 
with the w2x command-line tool.

See http://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp/w2x_command.html

w2x converts one DOCX at a time, but of course, you can call it from a 
for loop found in a .bat file.
