In an effort to create an open document standard, Microsoft in collaboration with ISO/IEC and Ecma, developed the Office Open XML standard in 2006. One of the filename extensions supported in this specification is the .docx extension, a text document filename extension. The .docx was introduced in Microsoft Office Word 2007 and has been supported ever since in later iterations. It has become the default filename extension for all text documents produced using Microsoft Office Word. Given the open source nature of the XML specification, more alternative document processing applications support read and write capabilities on documents saved with the .docx filename extension. This is in comparison to the .doc filename extension which is a proprietary asset owned by Microsoft.
The .tcr filename extension is a compressed text file format for eBooks and text associated with eBook reader software developed by Psion, a London based techonology company. The format has its beginnings in the early 90's and was designed for use on the PDAs released by the company, particularly the Series 3 handheld PDA. Though the format is proprietary and was intended for exclusive use on Psion devices, today, a few eBook reader applications can open files encoded in this format. As PDAs eventually lost there popularity, the format was discontinued when Psion eventually pulled out of the PDA market.

The .docx filename extension is specified in the open standard ISO/IEC 29500-1:2012. A free compatibility update allows older versions of Microsoft Office Word such as Office 2003 to open .docx documents.
The TCR format boasted of better compression of files saved in this format in comparison to its closest rival at the time, PalmDoc. The format is an adaptation of the ZVR text file viewer format developed for Psion, but incorporates the compression algorithms used in the TCReader program which was faster than that used on the ZVR format. The company claimed a 50% on average saving in memory storage after compression to TCR.
