The .doc filename extension is a native file extension used by the closed source document processing application Microsoft Office Word. Initially developed and used by Microsoft since 1983, the filename extension .doc continues to be supported natively even in the most recent iteration of the word processing application Microsoft Office Word 2013.

.WPS is a file extension that provides for word processing documents from Kingsoft Writer, a free alternative to Microsoft Word. The format was developed by Kingsoft, a Chinese software company, for the release of their own office suite back in 1988, WPS Office. WPS is an acronym for Writer, Presentation, and Spreadsheets. Apart from Kingsoft Writer, .WPS is a file extension that provides for Microsoft Works, an earlier project of Microsoft before Microsoft Office. The former office suite was discontinued back in 2007 and is no longer in use. The file extension was replaced by .DOC format, a more versatile and more advanced file format and the standard for Microsoft Office Word known today. Similar to its .DOC counterpart from Word, .WPS can provide the utility of a Word document with the exception of more advanced formatting elements and macros.

As a platform of compatibility with other office suites and file extensions, .WPS operates over libwps, a C++ library that enables the reading and writing of .WPS files. This allows other office platforms to edit these files. WPS files can utilize formatted text, images, and other tools native to a word processing document. Although a less used file format, .WPS can be easily converted to any other file format. Apart from Microsoft Works, the latest versions of Microsoft Office Word can convert .WPS files. Since Kingsoft Writer from WPS Office operates with the .WPS file format, any version of Kingsoft Writer can open and/or convert .WPS files. If the intention is to only view the .WPS files, Microsoft Word Viewer can scan through the .WPS file format.
