But as a side note:
The .doc format is an outdated binary file extension for word processing documents created in older versions of Microsoft Word, primarily before 2007. This proprietary format stores text, images, charts, and complex formatting but uses a proprietary binary structure that is prone to compatibility issues and corruption. While still supported by many applications, it has largely been replaced by the more open and stable .docx format, which uses XML technology. Source: AI Overview
