About DOC and ODS

DOC (Microsoft Word 97-2003 Document) is the legacy binary Word format used before Word 2007 — still widely supported for backward compatibility, though Microsoft has deprecated it in favor of DOCX.

ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) is the open ISO-standard spreadsheet format used by LibreOffice Calc and OpenOffice Calc.

What to expect: DOC and ODS support similar formatting, so most content and structure should carry over cleanly.
