Description | 🔵 .xls The .xls format is the default file format for spreadsheets created in Microsoft Excel, particularly in versions before Excel 007. This binary file format can store data in cells organized in rows and columns, and it supports formulas, charts, graphs, and various formatting features to manipulate and visualize dataThe .xls format was commonly used in business, finance, and any field requiring data analysis and presentation but has since been largely replaced by the more advanced .xlsx format. |
Technical details | 🔵 The `.xls` format, primarily for Microsoft Excel versions before 2007, stores spreadsheet elements like worksheets, formulas, and macros. As a proprietary binary format by Microsoft, its undocumented internal structure made third-party software compatibility challenging. This format includes binary records encapsulating data, formatting, and embedded objects, supporting multiple worksheets, various functions, and inter-sheet referencing. `.xls` files may contain Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros, enabling automation and complex calculations. It's supported not just in Excel but also in applications like OpenOffice Calc, with options to convert between `.xls` and other formats like `.xlsx`. Despite security concerns with macros, `.xls` is still used, mainly for its compatibility with older Excel versions and legacy systems, although the newer `.xlsx` format, introduced in Office 2007 with XML and ZIP technologies, offers improved efficiency and security. |

It's a binary file format for text documents that may contain rich text content, images, tables, graphs, and other elements typical of word processing documentsThe .doc format was widely used for creating and sharing documents in business and academic settings.

Technical details | 🔵 The `.doc` format, closely tied to Microsoft Word, was a preeminent word processing standard before the `.docx` format emerged in Office 2007. It was a proprietary binary format, making its structure inaccessible for third-party software development. The format includes binary codes for displaying text, images, and formatting in Word. It comprises text, formatting details, images, and other elements, supporting various text formats. Despite being associated with Word, other processors like OpenOffice also support it, albeit with compatibility variations across different Word versions. The `.docx` format, introduced later, is based on Office Open XML, offering more efficiency with XML and ZIP compression. However, modern Word versions maintain support for `.doc` for backward compatibility, highlighting its lasting impact and relevance in digital word processing. |
