MSG Document Format MSG Converter
The MSG file format was developed by Microsoft for its Outlook email program. Microsoft Outlook can be accessed online with internet browsers, or through software applications, which are available for all the main operating systems. MSG files can be opened within Outlook, but also with other some other applications.
MSG is short for ‘message’, which is what the files are. However, as well as email messages, Outlook will also save contact and calendar items into MSG format. Like the EML format, MSG email files include a header with the email subject, the sender and receiver, and the date and time the email was sent, as well as the body of the message. The files can also include email attachments. Contact files from Outlook that are saved/exported into MSG format would include whatever contact information had been entered, while calendar items would include the time, date and location of the meeting or diary item, plus any extra information.

TXT Document Format TXT Converter
A TXT file also goes by the name of a Plain Text File and are widely used. TXT files contain only text and unlike other document file types like the DOC they do not contain images or other multimedia.
Part of their appeal is that they can be opened on almost any device and on any OS. Microsoft and Apple both have in built text editor applications called Notepad and TextEdit respectively and are often used to create the TXT files. They are used extensively not only by the average user in the street who may decide to take meeting minutes, notes or the like but also by more technical IT types who can use it when coding.
TXT files do not have the same features as a DOC file in that you can’t select a font, make a word bold or add things like tables so if a user needs these types of features they’d often use a Word processor like Word to do this instead of using a plain text file.
