How to use the Text to Word Converter
- Paste your text into the box, or click Open .txt file (you can also drop a file on the box).
- Choose the formatting: font, size, line spacing, alignment, page size and margins.
- Check the preview on the right. It shows the first page with your settings.
- Click Create Word document. The .docx file downloads straight away and opens in Microsoft Word or any word processor.
How your text is turned into Word paragraphs
| In your text | In the Word document |
|---|---|
| A blank line | Starts a new paragraph (with the paragraph spacing you chose) |
| A single line break | A line break inside the same paragraph, so lists and addresses stay together |
| Several blank lines in a row | Removed, or kept as empty paragraphs if Remove extra blank lines is off |
| Tab characters | Real Word tabs |
# Title, ## Section, ### Sub | Heading 1, 2 and 3 styles (when headings are on), which also appear in Word's navigation pane |
Common document settings
| Document type | Typical settings |
|---|---|
| School essay (MLA / APA) | Times New Roman 12 pt, double spacing, 1 inch margins, first-line indent, no extra space between paragraphs |
| Business letter or report | Calibri or Arial 11–12 pt, single or 1.15 spacing, 8–12 pt after paragraphs, normal margins |
| Manuscript submission | Times New Roman or Courier New 12 pt, double spacing, 1 inch margins, first-line indent, page numbers |
| Printed handout | Arial or Verdana 12–14 pt, 1.15–1.5 spacing, narrow or normal margins |
Word sizes are given in points: 1 point is 1/72 of an inch, so 12 pt text is about 4.2 mm tall from the top of the tallest letter to the bottom of the lowest. Margins of 1 inch equal 2.54 cm. If the chosen font is not installed on the computer that opens the file, Word substitutes a similar font.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a text file to a Word document?
Open the .txt file with the Open .txt file button or drop it on the text box, choose your font and page settings and click Create Word document. The tool builds a .docx file in your browser and downloads it. Open it in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice like any other document.
Are paragraphs and line breaks kept?
Yes. A blank line starts a new paragraph, and a single line break inside a paragraph becomes a line break in Word, so addresses, poems and lists keep their shape. If your text has one paragraph per line, set Paragraphs to Every line instead.
What is the difference between .doc and .docx?
DOCX is the standard Word format since Word 2007, an open XML format that every modern word processor opens. The older binary .doc format is not needed today; Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and Apple Pages all read .docx files.
Which page size should I use?
Use Letter (8.5 × 11 in) in the United States and Canada and A4 (210 × 297 mm) almost everywhere else. Legal (8.5 × 14 in) is used for some US legal documents and A5 for booklets and notes.
Is my text uploaded to a server?
No. The document is generated by JavaScript in your browser using the open-source docx library. Your text and files never leave your device.
Can I make headings?
Tick Turn # lines into headings, then start a line with # for a main heading or ## for a subheading, as in Markdown. You can also add a document title, which is placed at the top in bold.
Are all the tools on FreeToolCabin tested for quality and accuracy?
Yes! Every tool on our site undergoes automated Q/A testing in real browser environments to ensure high precision, correct output, and zero errors. If you happen to spot a bug or have a suggestion, please contact us at [email protected] and our team will review it right away.
