About Word to Text
Stripping a Word document down to plain text leaves the words and discards everything else — styles, images, tables. That is exactly what you want for importing into another system or counting what was actually written.
How to use it
- Upload the DOCX file.
- Extract the text.
- Download or copy the plain text.
Worth knowing
Plain text has no concept of bold, headings or tables, so a table becomes a run of cell contents. If structure matters, convert to HTML or Markdown instead.
Common questions
- Are images kept?
- No. Plain text holds characters only.
- Will line breaks be preserved?
- Paragraph breaks survive; the visual line wrapping from Word does not, because that depends on page width.
