`.doc` file format
About this tag
The `.doc` file format, specifically the Word 97-2003 binary format, is a legacy document format that Microsoft is phasing out in favor of modern alternatives like `.docx`. A key change is that Microsoft OneNote will end support for exporting notebooks to `.doc` format on July 28, 2025. This affects users who rely on the older format for compatibility or archival purposes. The shift reflects Microsoft's broader move toward cloud-first, XML-based file formats. Users should plan to transition to `.docx` or other supported formats to avoid disruption. The tag covers discussions about the format's deprecation, compatibility issues, and migration strategies.
