When you save your word processing document, it typically creates a file with a specific extension depending on the software used. For example:
- Microsoft Word creates files with the extension .docx (or .doc for older versions).
- Google Docs saves files in the cloud and can be exported as .docx, .pdf, or other formats.
- LibreOffice Writer saves files as .odt (Open Document Text).
These file types contain the text, formatting, and potentially other elements like images or tables from your document.
