Text to Word

Paste or type text and get a .docx you can open in Word, Google Docs, Pages or LibreOffice and keep editing. The headings and lists arrive as real Word styles, not as text that merely looks bigger.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Type or paste your text

    Anything you have in a web page, a chat, an email or a notes app. The formatting comes with it.

  2. 2

    Format it however you like

    Headings, bold, italic, underline and strikethrough, bullet and numbered lists, quotes, code blocks, tables and links — applied straight to the text on screen. There is no markup to learn and no preview to switch to: what you are looking at is the document.

  3. 3

    Create the document

    Press Create DOCX and it downloads. Open it in Word, Google Docs, Pages or LibreOffice and carry on editing — nothing about the file is locked or watermarked.

When this is the right tool

Reach for this when someone else needs to edit what you have written. A PDF is the right answer for something final; a .docx is the right answer for a draft, a template or anything that will be marked up and sent back.

It is also the fastest way to get something out of a browser and into Word. Paste an article, a set of notes or a table from a web page and it arrives with proper heading styles already applied, rather than as a wall of text you have to restyle by hand.

What the formatting actually does

Each control marks up real structure, and the converter carries that into the Word document. A heading becomes a heading in the file's outline, not just larger text; a bullet list becomes a real list; a table becomes a table with cells.

That matters more than it sounds. Structure is what lets a screen reader announce your headings, a PDF reader build a navigation pane, and Word show an outline you can collapse. Text that has merely been made bigger and bolder has none of that.

Headings
Three levels, which is as deep as most documents need. They become the document's outline.
Lists
Bulleted and numbered. Numbered lists renumber themselves as you add and remove items.
Emphasis
Bold, italic, underline and strikethrough, applied to whatever you have selected.
Blocks
Quotes, fenced code blocks, tables and horizontal rules, all rendered as their real equivalents.

What it will not do

There is no control for typeface, text size or colour on individual words, and that is deliberate rather than unfinished. Those would be per-word styling, and the honest position is that a button which silently does nothing is worse than one that is not there.

Document-level choices — page size and the typeface for the whole document — are in the settings panel beside the editor, because they apply to the finished file rather than to a selection.

Images cannot be placed from the editor. Everything here is text you typed or pasted, which is also why nothing has to be uploaded.
