Convert DOC (Word) to EPUB

The DOC file extension, standing for "Microsoft Word Document", is a legacy format used by Microsoft Word. Introduced in the early 1980s with Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, it became the standard format for saving documents until the adoption of the DOCX format with Microsoft Word 2007. DOC files encapsulate text, formatting, images, and other document elements, and were pivotal in advancing word processing capabilities, offering extensive features for creating professional and complex documents in both personal and professional contexts. Despite the shift to DOCX, DOC files remain significant for their compatibility with older software versions and extensive archival of legacy documents.

The EPUB (Electronic Publication) file extension is a widely utilized format for digital books and publications, leveraging its versatility across various e-readers and devices. Officially established by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) in 2007, it superseded the Open eBook standard. EPUB's structure allows for reflowable content, meaning text can adapt to different screen sizes, enhancing readability. It supports multimedia elements, such as images, videos, and interactive features, making it suitable for diverse digital publications beyond conventional eBooks. EPUB's adoption stems from its open standard, promoting broad compatibility and ease of access in the digital publishing landscape.
