TXT (Plain Text) is unformatted text with no styling, fonts, or embedded objects — the most universally compatible format there is.
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.
What to expect: TXT carries little to no formatting of its own, so the DOC output will start plain — you can add styling afterward in a compatible editor.
