The SDW file format is associated with StarOffice Writer, a word processing application that was part of the StarOffice suite, which later evolved into OpenOffice. SDW files contain rich text, images, and formatting elements used in document creation.

DOC files support text, images, tables, and various formatting options, making them a popular choice for document sharing and editing.
