What is a .DOC file?
DOC is the classic Microsoft Word document format. Created and opened by Microsoft Word.
- Did you know
- DOC was Word’s format from 1983 until DOCX replaced it in 2007.
- Word debuted in 1983 as “Multi-Tool Word” for Xenix, and the .doc extension has carried that lineage ever since.
- A .DOC file uses Microsoft's OLE Compound File container - the same wrapper as the legacy .doc and .xls binaries.
- What Analyser shows you
- Open and read Microsoft Office documents - modern Word, Excel and PowerPoint (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX), their template, macro-enabled and slideshow variants (DOTX, XLTX, POTX, DOCM, XLSM, PPTM, PPSX), and the legacy 97-2003 binaries (DOC, XLS, PPT) - plus the OpenDocument family in every shape: zipped and flat single-XML text, spreadsheets, presentations and graphics (ODT, ODS, ODP, ODG, FODT, FODS), templates (OTT, OTS, OTP, OTG), legacy StarOffice (SXW, SXC, SXD), and EPUB e-books, shown as page previews with selectable text, tables, sheets and slides.
- Open a .DOC file
- Drag a .DOC file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It opens entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
