It was a proprietary binary format, making its structure inaccessible for third-party software development. The format includes binary codes for displaying text, images, and formatting in Word. It comprises text, formatting details, images, and other elements, supporting various text formats. Despite being associated with Word, other processors like OpenOffice also support it, albeit with compatibility variations across different Word versions.

However, modern Word versions maintain support for `.doc` for backward compatibility, highlighting its lasting impact and relevance in digital word processing.
