What is SXW file?
A SXW (or .sxw) file is an XML-based document formatted by the word processor 3 StarOffice Writer, part of a suite of commercial productivity tools, released in 2000 by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle). Unlike the more common docx or .doc file formats which rely on complex binary encoding, an .sxw file simply wraps the text content and formatting instructions in XML tags. This makes its contents more readable by humans, as well as allowing for compatibility with many other applications. [ ⏩ ] SXW file extension

How to convert the file from SXW to DOC?
To successfully convert the SXW file to DOC, you should install one of the applications from the list.

What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. SXW to DOC. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting SXW files to DOC files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension DOC, while before this step we had the SXW file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DOC file, or not.
