Convert DOC (Word) to RMD

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 RMD file extension stands for "R Markdown Document". It is primarily used in data analysis and reporting workflows within the R programming environment. RMD files allow users to incorporate executable R code, along with text, into a single document, facilitating the creation of dynamic and reproducible reports. The format was introduced as part of the RStudio IDE to streamline the documentation process and enhance data storytelling capabilities. Over time, it has become integral in fields such as data science and academia due to its versatility and ease of use in generating comprehensive reports and presentations.
