Convert XLS to DOC
What is XLS?
XLS
XLS is Excel's legacy binary format using BIFF (Binary Interchange File Format) within OLE compound document structure. Stores worksheets, formulas, formatting, charts, and macros. No compression—larger files than XLSX. Maximum 65,536 rows and 256 columns per sheet. Gradually replaced by XLSX since Office 2007 but widely compatible with older systems.
- XLS is a spreadsheet format
What is DOC?
DOC
DOC stores flowing text with formatting in binary compound document format. Spreadsheets store structured data in calculable cells with formulas. Documents contain narrative prose; spreadsheets contain tabular data. Converting document to spreadsheet requires extracting and restructuring content manually—that's data entry, not format conversion.
- DOC preserves document structure with text, formatting, and layout information
