A PRACTICAL GUIDE

How to convert Word to plain text

Remove document formatting when you need the words from a DOCX file for notes, plain-text editing or reuse.

  1. Choose one or more modern .docx documents.

  2. Select Extract text to read their text content.

  3. Open Preview to review and copy the words, or download each TXT file.

What plain text includes

The result contains text and line breaks. Fonts, colors, images and layout are omitted. Check the reading order of tables and other structured content.

Text in pictures

Words embedded in a picture are not regular DOCX text. Use Image to text on the original image if you need OCR.

Common questions

Will bold text and tables keep their formatting?

No. TXT is a plain-text format. Keep the DOCX original if formatting matters.

Can I extract text from .doc files?

Legacy .doc files are not supported. Save the document as .docx in a compatible editor first.
