Note: The Recital Word Add-in is not compatible with .doc files

The .doc format is the older file format used by Microsoft Word prior to 2007. Microsoft’s modern Word add-in platform only supports .docx files, the newer format introduced with Word 2007.

This limitation is due to Microsoft Word itself, not Recital.
