About DOCX to TXT conversion
DOCX is a text document format defined by the Office Open XML standard. It uses ZIP to package XML for storing structured content, and is the default format for Word 2007 and later versions. TXT is an unmarked plain text format compatible with text editors on all devices. This conversion meets the need for extracting plain text content from DOCX files.
After conversion, only plain text content from the DOCX is retained. Semantic information such as paragraph styles and table structure defined in DOCX are all removed. Text content from layout objects including headers, footers and text boxes is retained, but all formatting information is cleared. The output file is smaller than the original DOCX.
The output file can be opened by all text editors on Windows, macOS and Linux systems. It is suitable for workflows including bulk document script extraction, material organization and indexing, and generating universal editable plain text. No original document layout formatting information is retained.
