Format Details
DOC
DOC is the legacy binary file format used by Microsoft Word for the Office 97-2003 era. It stores document content, formatting, images, and metadata in a proprietary binary structure. Although superseded by the modern XML-based DOCX format, DOC remains common in older archives and is supported for import by virtually all modern word processors and office suites.
TXT
TXT (Plain Text) is the simplest possible file format, containing only unformatted characters encoded in ASCII or Unicode with no styling, images, or structural metadata. It is universally compatible with every operating system, programming language, text editor, and application that handles text. Plain text is used for source code, configuration files, README documents, log files, and any situation where maximum simplicity and portability are required.
