Details for file extension .DOC are on this page. Because there is no central registry for file extensions and their associated programs there may be multiple entries on this page. And, because there are many (some say over a million) such associations not all may be listed here. A search on the file extension you submitted shows 12 record(s).

Click here to run a FREE scan for .DOC related errors.

The details for each of these are shown below. The best FILExt can do for you is provide the details we know about. Selecting the information that applies to your particular situation is up to you. Use any hints provided. If the information here is not helpful, FILExt is sorry; but as a research site FILExt cannot provide personal support.

Specific Notes [What's This?]
Office Word is an authoring program that gives you the ability to create and share documents using a set of writing tools. Different versions of Word may have slightly different initial file contents. Use TrID to determine the version of Word. Are you trying to access older Word or PowerPoint documents in Office 2003 and can't? The original Office 2003 will not open older documents that have Office 2000 Clip Art in them. Check the Microsoft site for a critical update that fixes this. Note: This file type can become infected and should be carefully scanned if someone sends you a file with this extension. The OpenOffice Suite can open/save .DOC files. ..... [Search for DOC file errors with this scan.]

System Info for File Extension .DOC

FILExt has been given permission to display the file extension database produced by the Associate This! program. Some of that data has already been included into the main FILExt database; but, not all. Those entries which have not yet been incorporated are shown below in the hope that they will be of some use. Data collected by FILExt on registered file extensions from user systems is also in the display. Be aware this is raw data which may require further research on your part to fully understand. In particular, look at the Program ID. Often a company will put the program's name into the short ID that Windows uses to open registered file extensions. If that's not the case, look at the complete path to the EXE file. Often, programs will install themselves into directories that give either the program or company name. The program name itself may also be used as the EXE file name. These listings are particularly important since they represent listings that are in actual use by users who have sumbitted data to FILExt and therefore these listings can point you to the most likely candidate should there be multiple entries in the FILExt main database.

Program Name and MIME Type Info for File Extension .DOC

FILExt has been given permission to display a Program Name/MIME type database collected by Anthony R. Nemmer. Some of that data has already been included into the main FILExt database; but, not all. Those entries which have not yet been incorporated are shown below in the hope that they will be of some use. Be aware this is raw data which may require further research on your part to fully understand. MIME type listings often contain the name of a program or, at a minimum, a type of file as the leading text in the MIME type.

ProgramName	MIMEType
	application/mswor2C sc2
	application/octet-stream
	application/wordperfect5.1
	application/x-detective
	application/x-pressleaf
	application/x-soffice
	text/plain

General Info

If the extension you are looking for is of the form .??_ the file is likely a compressed file and part of an install routine. When the install program runs it will expand the file and replace the underscore with the proper letter for the file type.
If the file is sent as an audio file with any three-character extension it may be a dictation file where the extension is the dictator's initials; playable by BCB Voice Systems software (see ??? extension). The file could likewise be a dictation file in TrueSpeech format. Use Windows Sound Recorder and/or Media Player to play these back.
If the extension you are looking for has a number at the end or is only a number and there were no results consider entering the same extension format using zero or one as some programs produce numbered split files but when the split can be extensive (e.g., .000-.999) only the first entry is in the database.
