A document file format is a text or binary file format for storing documents on a storage media, especially for use by computers. There currently exist a multitude of incompatible document file formats.
A rough consensus has been established that XML is to be the basis for future document file formats. Examples of XML-based open standards are DocBook, XHTML, and, more recently, the ISO/IEC standards OpenDocument (ISO 26300:2006) and Office Open XML (ISO 29500:2008).
In 1993, the ITU-T tried to establish a standard for document file formats, known as the Open Document Architecture (ODA) which was supposed to replace all competing document file formats. It is described in ITU-T documents T.411 through T.421, which are equivalent to ISO 8613. It did not succeed.
Page description languages such as PostScript and PDF have become the de facto standard for documents that a typical user should only be able to create and read, not edit. In 2001, PDF became an international ISO/IEC standard (ISO 15930-1:2001, ISO 19005-1:2005, ISO 32000-1:2008).
HTML is the most used and open international standard and it is also used as document file format. It has also become ISO/IEC standard (ISO 15445:2000).
The default binary file format used by Microsoft Word (.doc) has become widespread de facto standard for office documents, but it is a proprietary format and is not always fully supported by other word processors.
In comparison to what?
Without something to compare it to, I could quite happily tell you the advantages of a doc over a giant squid in regards to telemarketing, provide us with some context next time. Thanks.
File extensions.
PDF means "Portable Document File" and is a file that has been saved in a format that allows it to go from one type of computer to another without changing the file. It is primarily associated with software from Adobe, but many software companies write software to read, write or modify PDF files. * If you don't think that pdf file is nice, you can convert pdf file to many other formats, such as html, text,doc and rtf so on.
The 'Save As Type' drop down menu. For instance, in MS Word, it allows you to save a document as either rich text, simple text, .doc or .docx.
Usually nothing. The file extension (the .jpeg, .exe, .png, .mov, etc.) tells what kind of file it is. Certain programs deal with certain extensions, like word with .doc, .rtf, and .txt. Paint and photoshop deal with .jpeg, .png, .gif, and .bmp. Powerpoint deals with .ppt, and so on. Hope this helps!
You cannot directly convert a .GIF to a .DOC since the .DOC format is not an image format. What you can do is to include the .GIF image in a word document by using the Insert menu or by dragging it over the open Word document.
Yes MS Word is a doc file. The file extension of MS Word file is .doc, .docx, .docm and many more.
What
Open it and save it as a DOC file. You can use word itself or abiword(free).
Microsoft Word 2007 file.
Yes, it is.
Doc file extension is short for document
the Microsoft word files are called document
What are the requirements of a file to be HTML file, just it has to be able to view the file in web browser. SO, probably the answer would be to change the doc file extension to HTML. Either you can embed the doc file into a web page or save it as .HTML or .htm file
.doc file or documents file
.doc just say hey I'm a old word processing file extension and this is how I need to be opened, so you can read me.
.doc or .docx
I am guessing "doc" since Microsoft documents have abbreviated file extensions as "doc".
