What to expect

How to convert DOC to TXT

  1. Open Citrus from the menu bar (the citrus slice icon).
  2. Drop your .doc file, or several, into the window. You can also drag a file onto the menu bar icon to open the quick wheel.
  3. Choose TXT as the output format and adjust options if you want, like size, quality or resolution.
  4. Press Convert. Your new files appear next to the originals, and the originals are never changed.

About the formats

DOC: DOC is the older Microsoft Word format. Use it only when someone needs legacy compatibility.

TXT: TXT is plain text with no formatting.
