Convert DOC (Word) to TEXT MARKDOWNSTRICT

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, associated with Unextended Markdown Documentation, is used for plain text files that contain Markdown-formatted text. Markdown is a lightweight markup language designed to be easily readable and writable, enabling users to format text using simple syntax. These files are widely used for documentation, notes, and content creation due to their simplicity and portability across different platforms and applications.
