What changes
| DOCX to TXT | What happens |
|---|---|
| Kept | Every paragraph on its own line, list numbers and bullets (1., a., •), tabs and line breaks |
| Tables | One line per row, cells separated by tabs |
| Left out | Formatting, pictures, headers, footers, footnotes, comments and deleted tracked changes |
| Encoding | UTF-8, so every language and symbol survives |
| Old .doc files | Not supported: save them as .docx first |

Why TXT
Get the words out of a Word document as plain text: for pasting into a form, a code editor, or a tool that cannot read Word.
Questions
Yes. Numbered lists get their numbers (1., 2., a.), bulleted lists get •, and nested items are indented.
Each row becomes one line with tabs between the cells, so it pastes neatly into a spreadsheet.
No. Open them in Word or LibreOffice and save as .docx. Password-protected files cannot be read either.
No. The conversion happens right in your browser, so your file stays on your device. There is no account to make, either.
