Format Details
DOCX
DOCX is the default file format for Microsoft Word documents since Office 2007, built on the Open XML standard developed by Microsoft and standardized by ISO. It stores document content, formatting, images, tables, and metadata in a compressed ZIP archive containing XML files. DOCX is the dominant word processing format worldwide, supported by Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and virtually all modern office software.
RTF
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a document interchange format developed by Microsoft in 1987 to allow formatted text to be shared across different word processors and operating systems. It encodes text formatting such as fonts, colors, bold, italic, and paragraph alignment using ASCII escape sequences, making it readable by virtually any word processor. RTF remains widely used as a compatibility format when the recipient's software is unknown.
