Hi @raghadaf8 

Currently in Alteryx there is no such functionality but you have to other way to get Doc file read in Alteryx. you need to convert Doc file into Plain Text File. These file types are not standard data formats, so in order to read them, we must first convert them to a plain text file.  To convert, there is a free, open-source program called DocToText. 

Let me know if you have any questions. 

Thanks
