In an earlier blog entry, we have talked about the file formats Microsoft Office programs can open. Included were Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, Notepad, WordPad and of course the word processing flagship Microsoft Word.

Knowing what files you can open with few or no struggle at all in Word is useful, no question, but what about saving documents in Microsoft Word? There is a big list of file formats you can export or save your writing in. In this article, we plan to reveal them all.

Please note that these information represent the current standard as of Microsoft Office 365. They may not be accountable for earlier or newer versions of Microsoft Word.

The first formats to have a look at are the default and standard document files provided by Microsoft Word. They can be regarded as Word’s “native” files. While some of these files differ due to the version of Microsoft Word you have, others serve different purposes.

DOC & DOCX

DOC files have been the standard document files to save your writing in Microsoft Word for a long time. It is compatible with versions of Microsoft Word from Word 97 up to Word 2003 for Windows.

DOCX is the XML-based format that is standard for versions Microsoft Word 2007 and newer.

Read more about the difference between DOC and DOCX.

DOT & DOTX

DOT and DOTX differ from the aforementioned document files in one crucial instance: they are template files. Documents saved as DOT or DOTX save content as well as layout and page settings, styles, shortcuts, and more, thus making it easier to start a new document with the exact same set-up.

DOT files are compatible with versions of Microsoft Word 97 up to Word 2003.

DOTX files, similar to DOCX, are based on XML. Those templates can be saved with Microsoft Word 2007 and newer.

DOCM & DOTM

Both DOCM and DOTM are similar to DOCX and DOTX respectively. They are both XML-based. However, saving in these formats preserves VBA macro code in either the document or document template.

These macros are only able to run in Word 2011, thus making this the version of Microsoft Word that allows you to save your writing as either DOCM or DOTM.

Other Text Formats

Other than Microsoft native document formats, you can save your writing in universally supported and common text formats as well. Those are the following:

TXT

TXT files are the “most basic” text files you can create. Text is saved in a plain format without any formatting or styles. This file type can be opened in all common text editors like NotePad.

Read more about why you may want to create a TXT file.

RTF

RTF files are similar to both DOC and TXT files. Text is saved with basic formatting however, setting it apart from the plain text version TXT. However, the formatting preserved in RTF files are not as advanced as those in DOC and DOCX.

Many other word processing programs are able to open RTF files.

PDF

PDF files are special in that they can not be further edited in common word processing software as Microsoft Word. Text saved as PDF, however, look exactly the same in every program they are opened with as they contain a fixed page layout. This format is especially useful when transferring writing from, e.g., Windows to Apple Mac computers or for printing.

Webpages

Another possibility for saving text in Microsoft Word is to save it as an executable webpage. There are two formats available for this.

HTM

HTM files save the contained text in the HTML format. Thus, the files can be executed in a web browser. Like PDF files, they look exactly the same on Windows and Apple computers.

Read more about reasons why you may want to save your documents as HTM(L).

MHT

When saving a document in the MHT format, it is optimized for display on the web as well. All page elements like images, tables and other graphics are included in one MHT file. The files use the MIME HTML Internet standard.

Markup Languages

Next to webpages, Microsoft Word is also able to save text in the markup language XML.

XML

XML files contain text translated into XML markup language. All formatting of the text is translated as well.

There are two versions of the XML file available for saving in Microsoft Word; one is compatible with Word 2003, one for Windows 2007.

Other

Next to these (more or less) document types available for saving, Microsoft Word is also capable of exporting writing in different file formats.

DIC

There are two versions of DIC files available. They are both linked to dictionary entries that are not contained or specified in the main dictionary of Microsoft Word.

One version of DIC files stores information about new words or terms that are not saved in the main dictionary.

The other version specifies the preferred spelling of words and terms. Saving them in this type of DIC will prevent Microsoft Word from marking correctly spelled words as incorrect. This is especially useful when it comes to the distinction between British and American English.

THMX

THMX files contain information about used fonts, color schemes, background settings and other formatting that belongs to a Microsoft Word page theme. In Word, you can choose between different themes under Home > Themes > Browse Themes. Thus, you can apply them to any page you are working on.

Between DOC files, PDFs, TXT files and more, there are many different document file extensions you can use. Similar to our posts on The Complete Image File Extension List for Developers and  The Complete List of Audio / Video File Formats for Developers, we have created a complete list of document file extension types for you to reference when working on projects with Filestack and other tools.

.DOC and .DOCX

.DOC and .DOCX are the standard file format of Microsoft Word documents. DOCX files are XML-based DOC files. In newer versions of Word, files are saved as the DOCX format by default.

.HTML and .HTM

.HTML and .HTM are the standard markup language used when creating web pages. When opened in a text editor, like Sublime, HTML and HTM files allow HTML code to be edited. When opened in a web browser, the web page the code creates is presented.

.ODT

.ODT files are text documents that are similar to DOCX files. However, these files can be opened in open-source word processor programs, such as Openoffice. This is useful when you’re sharing files with others who may not have Microsoft Office.

.PDF

PDF files protects text and images within the document, allowing information to be distributed in an inalterable form. They’re nearly-universal file types, in that they can be opened on almost any modern device.  PDFs can also contain unalterable watermarks to further protect original documentation.

.XLS and .XLSX

.XLS and .XLSX are the standard file formats for Microsoft Excel. Like with DOCX files, XLSX files are used in the more modern versions of Excel.

.ODS

.ODS is the spreadsheet counterpart of .ODT files. Unlike XLS and XLSX files, they can be opened in third-party, open-source programs in addition to Microsoft Excel.

.PPT and .PPTX

.PPTs and .PPTX are the standard file formats for Microsoft PowerPoint. Again, PPTX is the more modern, XML-based version of the PPT file format.

.TXT

.TXT files are the most basic plaintext file format available. TXT files allow users to create text-based documents without worrying about formatting, font style, or text color.

Conclusion

In summary, the most common document file extensions are:

• .DOC and DOCX
• .HTML and .HTM
• .ODT
• .PDF
• .XLS and XLSX
• .ODS
• .PPT and .PPTX
• .TXT

As we discussed, there are many occasions when you will prefer to use a certain filetype over another. Filestack’s Document Conversion API offers a way for you to convert between document files programmatically in your code.

For example, you can convert a PDF with the external URL:

Форматы документов Microsoft Word — от старого DOC до нового DOCX

Документ Microsoft Word представляет собой файл с расширением doc или docx. До 90-х годов XX века расширение doc использовалось для текстовых файлов, которые не содержат разметки. И сейчас можно убедиться, что файл такого типа легко создать с помощью, например, программы «Блокнот». Правда, он не будет иметь богатого форматирования, но легко открывается программой Ворд, в которой набранному в блокноте тексту можно придать более оформленный вид. Когда корпорация Майкрософт выпустила программу Ворд, разработчики решили использовать в ней расширение doc. К настоящему времени этот текстовый редактор является самым популярным в мире, поэтому файл с расширением doc ассоциируют с этим программным продуктом и называют просто «вордовский формат».

Что такое формат?

Старый формат DOC отличался сложным содержанием, и нормально читался только в MS Office

В отличие от других текстовых форматов этого же производителя, например, RTF (Rich Text Format File), внутреннее содержание doc более сложное и запутанное. В формате Word сохраняется не только символьная информация, но и различные объекты (например, схемы, диаграммы, формулы, сценарии). Разработчики используют закрытый код, в котором посторонний разобраться не сможет. Чтобы увидеть «внутренности», файл можно открыть, например, в блокноте. В RTF любопытствующий увидит стройные ряды данных, похожие на содержание кода интернет-страниц. Во втором случае — пугающую кашу из знаков самого разнообразного происхождения и вида. В отличие от зашифрованного документа Word, файл RTF не содержит непечатных бинарных символов, легко открывается во всех текстовых и даже графических редакторах. В то же время практически ни одна программа (кроме соответствующего продукта от компании Майкрософт) не обладает способностью адекватно открыть для просмотра и редактирования документ Word. Сейчас офисный пакет этой компании очень широко распространен и доступен любому пользователю.

Современные форматы «вордовских» документов

Даже бесплатные современные редакторы документов умеют корректно работать с DOCX

Кроме того, сложности могут возникнуть даже при использовании разных версий офисного пакета Майкрософт. Дело в том, что начиная с версии Word 2007 года документ по умолчанию сохраняется с расширением не doc, а docx. Поэтому если установлен пакет офиса, выпущенный ранее, то необходима конвертация для устаревших версий. Конверторы для обеспечения совместимости предлагаются самой компанией Майкрософт (Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack), так что обычно при открытии docx, например, в версии Ворд 2003, сложностей не возникает, но при этом может потеряться часть данных форматирования и возможностей редактирования.

Компания Майкрософт была вынуждена пойти на изменение формата Word под давлением международных организаций, которые требовали подвести его под какие-либо стандарты. Был выбран вариант, основанный на языке разметки XML, который часто используется в документах интернет. Документ с расширением docx имеет некоторые преимущества перед устаревшим форматом, в частности, меньший вес, что имеет значение при передаче документа через интернет. Поэтому при ограниченных скоростях передачи данных пользователям имеет смысл использовать более современный формат Word.
