.DOC file support

DOCX to Text

The idea is:

I created a “Extract DOCX Text” node that works great, but the same thing cannot be done for “Extract DOC Text” node.

DocxToText Node Error: Can’t find end of central directory : is this a zip file ? If it is, see How to read a file

I wish this node would…

My use case:

.DOC format is still very popular and a lot of users use it.

I think it would be beneficial to add this because:

It will avoid manual conversion from .DOCX to .DOC

Any resources to support this?

Are you willing to work on this?
