Text to Word
Turn plain text into a real, editable Word document. Paste text or open a .txt file, choose the font, size, line spacing, page size and margins, and download a .docx file that opens in Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, Google Docs and Apple Pages. Blank lines become paragraphs and line breaks are kept, or every line can become its own paragraph.

Text to Word FAQ
Will the document open in Word?
Yes. The file is a standard Office Open XML (.docx) document that Word 2007 and later, LibreOffice, Google Docs and Pages can open and edit.
How are paragraphs created?
By default a blank line starts a new paragraph and single line breaks are kept inside it. Choose “Every line is a paragraph” for lists or line-based text.
Can I use other languages?
Yes. Word documents store Unicode text, and Word substitutes a suitable font for scripts the chosen font does not cover.
Are tabs kept?
Tabs are converted to four spaces, which keeps indentation consistent across programs.
Can I add formatting such as bold?
Plain text has no formatting. For headings, bold and lists, write Markdown and use the Markdown to Word tool.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The document is built in your browser.
From plain text to a Word document
Plain text is easy to write and read, but colleagues often need a document they can edit with track changes, comment on or merge into a larger report. A Word document provides that, along with consistent fonts, page size and margins when it is printed or shared.
The conversion builds a standard .docx file from your text. Each paragraph becomes a Word paragraph, so editing, styling and spell-checking work as expected. Single line breaks inside a paragraph become soft line breaks, which keeps addresses and short lines intact, and blank lines separate paragraphs. When the text is a list of lines, the alternative mode turns every line into its own paragraph.
Typography choices apply to the whole document: the font, its size and the line spacing are stored as the document’s default style, so changing them later in Word updates everything at once. Page size, orientation and margins are stored in the section settings, and optional page numbers are added to the footer as real fields that update when the document changes.
Because the .docx format stores text as Unicode, any language can be used. If the selected font has no characters for a script, Word and other editors fall back to a font that does. A title, when given, is placed at the top and saved in the document properties.
For text with formatting such as headings, bold words, links or tables, write it in Markdown and use the Markdown to Word tool, or paste HTML into the HTML to Word tool. Both produce the same kind of editable document.
