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

Hi,

I was wondering if you were able to find a solution for this.

Hello everyone. My name is Krzysztof Nowicki, and i represent the Doctotext product producer, that is Silvercoders LTD company. We operate under new name - DocWire.  The product is available as under opensource GPL license, BUT it is also available with commercial license for commercial use. We provide the product as an open code and all 3rd party components via vckpg. It is already much more sophisticated than the version mentioned on Alteryx knowledge base, and we are currently working  on newe release with many interesting features. So pelase check our website docwire,io , our github https://github.com/docwire/docwire and ask any questions.
