I already know about the docx2txt program, and it's extremely helpful. ssconvert is also really helpful, but unlike docx2txt, it works both ways. How does one convert a .txt file to .docx via CLI, or is it even possible??
This:
Code:
docx2txt example.docx
results in making a .txt file out of the original .docx file.
What I want to know is, is there a way to do the exact opposite in the Command Line?? Making a .docx file out of a .txt file??
The main difference between a .doc and a .txt is formatting like bold face typing, colours, tables, hyphenation, what have you, and/or embedded pictures etc.. All of this is missing in a plain .txt. You can open it as is with e.g. writer.
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.

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.
