Convert DOC (Word) to IPYNB (Jupyter Notebook)

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 IPYNB file extension stands for "Interactive Python Notebook" and is used exclusively with Jupyter Notebook. It is a JSON file format that contains a complete record of user sessions, including code, narrative text, equations, and visualizations. The IPYNB files facilitate reproducible research and easy sharing of data analysis workflows. Originating from the IPython project, Jupyter Notebook has expanded its capabilities to support multiple programming languages, making it a versatile tool in the data science and machine learning communities. The format's history traces back to the early 2010s when it was developed to enhance interactive computing and collaborative work.
