Are you planning to offer .doc support in addition to the current .docx support?

Just wanted to comment, I ran a check of file counts across our server, where I was considering using markitdown:

  1. PDF - 1,150k files
  2. JPG - 243k files
  3. DOC - 112k files
  4. XLS - 70k files
  5. XLSX - 69k files
  6. DOCX - 46k files

I think this demonstrates just how important DOC file handling is, even in 2025.

On a side note, what's not shown in the above list is the number of PDFs that are generated content versus scanned documents. Most are probably scanned, and 95% of the scanned PDFs should be searchable images.
