Subtitles can be generated from plenty of text sources, but apparently older Word documents are not directly supported in subtitle editors. However, nothing prevents you to copy text from open the Word document and use (paste) it to another program, which essentially achieves doc to srt conversion.
You can generally import .txt text files to subtitle generating programs and save them in one of the most common SRT subtitle format. Some simple text editing changes (like typos, text encoding) can also be fixed by using any common text editor.

Understanding DOC and SRT file formats
The DOC file format is a widely used word processing format developed by Microsoft. It is primarily used for creating and editing text documents, including features like formatting, images, and tables. On the other hand, the SRT file format is a subtitle file format used to display subtitles on videos. It contains plain text with time codes to synchronize the subtitles with the video.
Why convert DOC to SRT?
Converting a DOC file to an SRT file is useful when you need to create subtitles for a video from a script or text document. This conversion allows you to take advantage of the structured timing and formatting of SRT files to ensure that your subtitles are displayed correctly during video playback.
