The DOC file extension, standing for "Microsoft Word Document", is a legacy format used by Microsoft Word. Introduced in the early 1980s with Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, it became the standard format for saving documents until the adoption of the DOCX format with Microsoft Word 2007. DOC files encapsulate text, formatting, images, and other document elements, and were pivotal in advancing word processing capabilities, offering extensive features for creating professional and complex documents in both personal and professional contexts. Despite the shift to DOCX, DOC files remain significant for their compatibility with older software versions and extensive archival of legacy documents.
The TEXT file extension, is a format used for representing text data without any formatting or binary elements. Originating from the early days of computing, plain text files are utilized for scripting, configuration files, log files, and source code documentation due to their universal readability and ease of creation. They are compatible across different operating systems and software applications, making them essential for data interoperability and communication in various IT and development environments.
