Stripping Everything Down
Converting DOTM to TXT is about as thorough a cleanup as you can do. Macros, formatting, styles, template structure, images, metadata—all gone. What remains is pure text content that works on literally anything.
This is useful when you need the words from a template without any of the complexity. Maybe you're extracting content for a database. Maybe you need to paste it into a system that only accepts plain text. Maybe you just want to see what's actually written without all the formatting getting in the way.
TXT files are the simplest possible document format. They open instantly on any device, contain no hidden data, and can't execute any code. It's your content reduced to its most basic, most portable form.
When Plain Text Is What You Need
Content Extraction
You're pulling text from templates to use elsewhere—a CMS, a database, another application. Plain text is the cleanest input format.
Security Review
You want to see what's in a macro-enabled file without any risk of running the automation. TXT shows you the content safely.
Text Processing
You're feeding content into scripts, programs, or analysis tools that work with plain text. Formatting and macros would just cause problems.
Cross-Platform Sharing
You need to share content with someone and have zero idea what software they use. TXT opens on absolutely everything.
Removing All Metadata
The template contains tracked changes, comments, or hidden information you want completely eliminated. TXT strips all of that away.
Common Questions
What happens to the macros?
Completely removed. TXT can't contain executable code. You get text content only.
Does any formatting survive?
No. Bold becomes regular text. Headings become regular text. Colors, fonts, styles—all gone. That's what plain text means.
What about tables and lists?
The text content comes through, but structure is lost. Tables might appear as text separated by spaces or tabs. Lists lose their bullets or numbering.
Can I get my formatting back later?
Not from the TXT file. Once converted, the formatting information is permanently gone. You'd need to keep your original DOTM for that.
Are images included?
No. TXT is text only—it can't contain images at all. Any graphics in your template are simply not included in the output.
How This Works
Upload your DOTM template and we'll extract every piece of text content. Macros, formatting, images, template structure—everything except the actual words gets discarded.
Download your TXT file and you've got the simplest possible version of your content. Opens in Notepad, TextEdit, any text editor. Works on phones, ancient computers, servers, anywhere text can be displayed.
This conversion is the ultimate simplification. You're throwing away everything except the raw words. Sometimes that's exactly what a situation calls for.
