What a Word document looks like once FileConcat has read it
A one-page sample letter. The heading, the table and the footnote come back as text; the picture does not.
<file path="offer-letter.docx" language="docx"><![CDATA[ # Offer letter Dear Sam, we are pleased to offer you the role below.[^1] | Role | Analyst | | Start | 3 November | --- Notes --- [^1] Subject to references. ]]></file>
Sample Word document, read by FileConcat 2.2.
What comes through, and what does not
In the text
- Text with headings, tables, footnotes and link addresses. Tracked deletions are left out.
Not read
- Pictures and charts are not described.
Forty documents, one file to paste
Drop a folder of Word documents and they come back as one text file, each under its own name, with a token count for the whole set. An assistant that caps attachments counts it as one.

Common questions
Is my Word document uploaded to a server?
Not to us. FileConcat reads the Word document in your browser and there is no account to create. The only upload is the one you choose to make, when you paste or attach the text at your assistant.
Does it read old .doc files?
Yes. The older .doc is read as well as .docx and .docm. OpenDocument .odt and RTF files are read too, as their text.
What happens to charts and pictures?
They are not described. A chart is a picture, so a number that exists only in a chart is not in the text. Check the chart's figures against the source before you rely on them.
Can I get plain text without tags?
Yes. Set Format to Plain before you copy or download. The tags go, and each file sits between two rules with its name, under a short summary and the file list.
Can I convert many Word documents at once?
Yes. Drop several files or a whole folder. They come back as one text file with each document under its own name, so an assistant that limits attachments takes them as one.
