Plain Text to Word: Adding Structure and Formatting

Plain text files (.txt) contain raw character data with no formatting — no bold, no headings, no fonts. Converting TXT to Word adds professional formatting: paragraph spacing, font selection, heading detection, and list recognition.

The converter analyzes line break patterns to detect paragraph boundaries. Lines followed by double line breaks are treated as separate paragraphs. Lines starting with numbers or dashes are formatted as lists. ALL-CAPS lines are promoted to headings.

Encoding Detection

  • UTF-8: The dominant text encoding worldwide. Supports all Unicode characters. Variable-width (1-4 bytes per character). Most .txt files use UTF-8.
  • ASCII: 7-bit encoding supporting 128 characters. Subset of UTF-8. Used in older systems and programming files.
  • UTF-16: Fixed 2-byte encoding used by Windows internally. Notepad saves in UTF-16 when special characters are present.
