Convert SXW to TXT

Upload a SXW file and save it as TXT. The converter works for document and spreadsheet formats without installing office software.

SXW is a text file format. From the very beginning, it was created for StarOffice Writer, that is, an application that processes texts from the Sun Microsystem StarOffice office suite. StarOffice was developed by Sun Microsystems. Then it was bought by Oracle. That's why Star Office has evolved into Apache Open Office, and is now a commercial Oracle product. At the same time, it is the same software product as the free program OpenOffice.org. The only difference is that the new Open Office provides technical support for packages. The Apache Software Foundation supports the Apache OpenOffice software package, and it provides a universal set of tools designed to work with vector drawings, spreadsheets, text documents, databases, etc. The .sxw file is an OpenOffice text document that is saved in XML-based Sun XML Writer (SXW) format. Currently, the SXW format and other OpenOffice formats that are outdated have skipped ahead of the family of standard OpenDocument Format (ODF) formats with .odt extensions without preserving compatibility between them. SXW files are opened by programs such as StarOffice Writer and OpenOffice.org Writer.

TXT is one of the simplest and longest existing text file formats. The full name of the format is Plain Text File, and the developer is unknown. Text files of this format are very small, and therefore have become very widespread. A TXT file contains text data organized as strings. As a rule, this is a standard text document without formatting. This format is universal, it is available to work in almost any text editor. But one of the simplest and most common is Windows Notepad. Files with the extension .txt are associated with this program by default.
