Frequently Asked Questions
What does DOC to TXT extract?
It extracts readable text from a legacy Microsoft Word DOC file, including supported headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, footnotes, and notes.
Will TXT keep the Word document formatting?
TXT keeps the words and basic line structure. Fonts, colours, images, page layout, and other visual formatting are not part of the plain text format.
Can I open the TXT file without Microsoft Word?
Yes. Plain TXT files open in basic text editors, note apps, code editors, and most data-processing tools.
Can I convert several DOC files at once?
Yes. Add multiple DOC files and convert them together, then download each TXT result or the completed batch as a ZIP.
Does DOC to TXT use OCR?
Ordinary document text is read directly, so OCR is not needed. Words stored only inside embedded images are not extracted.
