Description	🔵 The .doc format is a proprietary document file format used by Microsoft Word, primarily in versions before Word 2007. It is a binary file format for text documents that may contain rich text content, images, tables, graphs, and other elements typical of word processing documents. The .doc format was widely used for creating and sharing documents in business and academic settings. However, it has largely been replaced by the .docx format in more recent versions of Microsoft Word.
Technical details	🔵 The `.doc` format, closely associated with Microsoft Word, was a dominant word processing standard prior to the emergence of the `.docx` format in Office 2007. It was a proprietary binary format, meaning its structure was not accessible for third-party software developers. This format contained binary codes for displaying text, images, and formatting within Word documents. It encompassed text, formatting specifications, images, and other components, supporting various text formats. While primarily linked to Word, other processors like OpenOffice also had support for it, although compatibility varied across different Word versions. The `.docx` format, introduced later, is based on Office Open XML, providing greater efficiency through the use of XML and ZIP compression.
