Every line of the file becomes its own paragraph, blank lines included, and leading spaces and tabs are kept. Choose 'Split at blank lines' instead to rejoin text that was wrapped by hand, such as e-mails or e-books.
This tool reads the byte-order mark for UTF-8 and UTF-16 files and falls back to Windows-1252 (ANSI) for old files that are not valid UTF-8, so é, ü and ñ come through. The encoding it used is shown for each file.
Turn on Monospace: the document uses Consolas, so columns made with spaces and code keep their alignment, as in a text editor.
The file is read and the Word document written in your browser.
Drop several .txt files; each becomes its own Word file, and you can download them all as a ZIP.
Lines written mostly in a right-to-left script are set right to left in Word.
In 'Every line' mode each line becomes a paragraph with no extra spacing, so the document looks like the file; blank lines stay. In 'Split at blank lines' mode the lines between blank lines are joined into one paragraph that reflows in Word.
UTF-8 and UTF-16 (little- or big-endian) are recognised by their byte-order mark; files that are not valid UTF-8 are read as Windows-1252, the usual encoding of older Windows text files.
The .docx is written with the docx library in Calibri, Arial, Times New Roman, Georgia or Consolas at 10–14 pt on A4 or US Letter pages. Tabs become Word tabs and right-to-left lines are set right to left.
The conversion runs in the browser; the text is not uploaded.
| Your text | Choose | Result in Word |
|---|---|---|
| Notes, lists, logs, poems | Every line | One paragraph per line, as typed |
| E-mails or e-books wrapped at ~70 characters | Split at blank lines | Full paragraphs that reflow |
| Code or space-aligned tables | Every line + Monospace | Columns stay lined up |
You can change the mode and convert again; nothing is uploaded.
