Why use FileTools for docx to text?

DOCX to text removes most presentation formatting and extracts readable words in document order. The simpler result is easier to search, quote, analyze, or move into a plain-text system.

Notes, search indexing, proofreading, text analysis, and copying content into systems that reject Word files.
