About DOC and XLSX

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.

XLSX (Microsoft Excel Workbook (Office Open XML)) is Excel's modern XML-based format, supporting formulas, multiple sheets, charts, and conditional formatting.

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