The file extension .doc
is typically used for Microsoft Word documents created in older versions of the software, specifically prior to Word 2007. It is suitable for text documents that may include formatted text, images, tables, and other elements. While newer versions of Word use the .docx
extension, .doc
files are still used for compatibility with older systems or software that may not support the newer format.
Open it and save it as a DOC file. You can use word itself or abiword(free).
To convert a .doc file to a .pdf file, you can use a word processing program like Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Open the .doc file in the program and then go to the "File" menu. Look for an option to "Save As" or "Export," and choose PDF as the file format. You can then customize the settings and save the file as a .pdf document.
rtf file is used over a doc file when the receiver does not have the same version of software as yours. If the receiver has the same version of software as yours then doc file is ok to send as the receiver will be able to open it. If you do not know what version the receiver has then send rtf file as any one either having a old or new version will be able to open an rtf file

Use Save As in the File menu. Then pick one of the text file options in the Save As Type option.
A .doc file is a Microsoft Word document. Microsoft Word 2007 uses the .docx extension, but previous versions of Word use .doc.
Things like ( .doc .exe .jpg .gif .xls ) are called file extensions. They tell the operating system which program to use in order to read/understand the data contained in the file. For instance if you were to try to open a file named "My_term_paper.doc" the computer would see the .doc and know to open your chosen word processing program.

The file extension. .doc, .xml, .exe, etc. Only applicable to Windows files. Linux does not use file extension and MAC uses file types and creator codes.
i need to file my papers.
This is going to depend on the type of file that you are trying to open. The file extension is created depending on the software (and version) that was used. For example, if you use an older version of Microsoft Word to save a document, it has a .doc extension. If you use a newer version such as 2007, it will save the files with a .docx extension. You would need to have the correct software to open the file, but in many cases, Microsoft may make a viewer that you can download (depending on the file of course)
Templates (.dot) are identical to Word (.doc) files but all of the formatting in them applies to the current document. In Word, if you create a New file and use the default then it has the normal.dot file formats. Some templates have Visual Basic macros to help you fill out the document e.g. your company name in a fax template.
