To convert TXT to DOC, upload the TXT file, start the conversion and download the result. LibreOffice opens the TXT and saves it as DOC; styles and tables carry over where DOC supports them.
Plain character data without page layout, styles, images, or a universal encoding marker is interpreted first, then its pages or chapters rebuilt using whatever structures DOC makes available. Layout and semantics both require mapping - This is not a renamed package. TXT input is decoded with an explicit character encoding and line-ending policy; paragraphs, tabs, control characters, and reading order are all that remain. The DOC destination uses the constraints of the legacy binary Word model, including older field, drawing, table, and compatibility behavior.
Read as plain character data without page layout, styles, images, or a universal encoding marker. Rebuilt as the legacy binary Microsoft Word document model.

If you want the reasoning behind this TXT to DOC route, how to choose a file format by what must survive explains why a format is a set of tradeoffs rather than a label.
Used for structured content meant for rendering or data interchange.
Designed for editable text documents with styles, headings, and page layout.
Open as the intended encoding and inspect line endings, accented characters, tabs, and paragraph breaks.
Compare page breaks, tables, headers, footnotes, and tracked changes in Word or a compatible editor.
Formatting and embedded objects disappear, while the wrong character encoding can corrupt punctuation or non-Latin text.
Modern layout features, embedded objects, macros, and fonts may shift when the binary document is rebuilt.
the legacy binary Microsoft Word document model is what gets written, labeled as application/msword. Whether that actually opens depends on the receiving application, not on the file extension.
Choose DOC when its editing, reflow, or reader support is more valuable than exact TXT structure, and test the most complex page or chapter before committing.
