Is there a way to convert a .txt file to a .docx file?? Also, I can't seem to find this "writer" program that you mentioned.

---------- Post updated at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous update was at 03:27 PM ----------

I have found the solution. The program "abiword" comes with a CLI option that is typed

Code:
abiword -t <desired format> <file>

It can do both .doc and .docx file to .txt, and even vise versa. It's actually really convenient.

@ RudiC

Thank you for your time and effort, what you said inspired me to do some man page research, which lead to the solution that I found.

In addition, the program "docx2txt" can only go from .docx to .txt. The abiword program can do both .doc and .docx, and several more to .txt, and vise versa. Because of that, the "docx2txt" program seems a little redundant, no?? Just something I wanted to add to that.
