Word 97-2003 Document (DOC) is the original binary format of Microsoft Word, used as the default from the 1980s until Word 2007 replaced it with DOCX. A DOC file packs text, formatting, images, tables, and embedded objects into a single proprietary structure. Because that structure is binary rather than XML, DOC files are more prone to corruption, harder for other programs to interpret, and can carry macro-based malware.
Every current version of Microsoft Word still opens DOC files, usually in Compatibility Mode, and offers to convert them to the newer DOCX format.
LibreOffice Writer, Google Docs, and Apple Pages all handle DOC well. Since support for this legacy format is gradually being reduced, converting your archive is sensible — our DOC to DOCX and DOC to PDF tools do it in one step.
