File extension DOC - Microsoft Word 97 to 2003 document file
File extension DOC description:
The DOC file extension is associated with Microsoft Word, a powerful authoring program that gives you the ability to create and share documents by combining a comprehensive set of writing tools with the easy-to-use Microsoft Office Fluent user interface, which is part of Microsoft Office.
The .doc files are traditionally used by Microsoft Word for its document files. The .doc files are in the word binary file format, which is a collection of records and structures that specify text, tables, fields, pictures, embedded XML markup, and other document content. The content can be printed on pages of multiple sizes or displayed on a variety of devices. The Word binary file format begins with a master record named the file Information block, which references all other data in the file. By following links from the file information block, an application can locate all text and other objects in the file and compute the properties of those objects.
The latest versions of Microsoft Office use the Open XML file format and the Microsoft Word documents are saved with the DOCX file extension,or if they also have macros enabled, the DOCM file extension.
MIME: application/msword, application/doc, appl/text, application/vnd.msword, application/vnd.ms-word, application/winword, application/word, application/x-msw6, application/x-msword
