What Word to TXT does

Strip a Word document down to plain text. Formatting disappears and only the words remain, which is exactly what you want when the content is going into a system that chokes on markup — a code repository, a database field, a script, or a plain-text email where pasted Word content otherwise arrives full of stray styling.

When you'd use it

Pasting a document into a system that only accepts plain text
Counting words or grepping a document from the command line
Feeding a document into a script without Word's formatting

Limitations

Tables are written as rows with cells separated by tabs so they stay readable; merged cells and nested tables are flattened.
Headers, footers, footnotes and text boxes are not part of the main flow and are omitted.
Images are dropped — plain text has nowhere to put them.

Questions

Does this include tables?

Yes, table content is extracted as pipe-separated text.

What exactly is lost?

Fonts, colours, headings, images, tables as tables, and page layout. Paragraph text survives; a table's contents come through as lines of text without the grid.

Why would I want to lose the formatting?

Because plain text is universal and never carries hidden styling. Pasting from Word into a web form or code editor often drags along invisible markup that causes odd spacing later.

Will the paragraph breaks be kept?

Yes, paragraph structure and line breaks are preserved so the text stays readable rather than collapsing into one block.
