About DOCX and TXT

DOCX (Microsoft Word Document (Office Open XML)) is Word's modern XML-based format since Office 2007, supporting styles, embedded images, tables, and tracked changes.

TXT (Plain Text) is unformatted text with no styling, fonts, or embedded objects — the most universally compatible format there is.

What to expect: TXT doesn't support everything DOCX does, so expect formatting like fonts, styles, or embedded objects to be dropped in the conversion.
