Ch 8 - 4.2.3 - Document File Formats

  • Doc - Word documents from 97-2003 are in this format.
  • Docx - Default document that Word saves as.
  • HTML - Converts the document into a webpage.
  • PDF - Is the most portable, great for final documents and locks in the stylings. 
  • TXT - Can be opened in any program that can read text but will strip any formatting.

Here's hoping this helps in understanding when to use what kind of  documents.

    Take a look at the different file formats by and from Chapter 5 Microsoft Excel ^_^

  2. Learning about document file formats have helped me submit online assignments. Because I use a MacBook, documents save differently and I had to convert the document to .docx

  7. I can only imagine the US military still using old file formats, when I left the service in 2016 they still had computers using windows XP.

  14. These formats are incredibly useful for a variety of purposes, and it's great that some of them may be switched out quickly.
