TXT at a glance
TXT
Convert to TXT when you need the words without the formatting.
It is a strong target for extraction, indexing, NLP preprocessing, OCR review, notes, and system handoffs where formatting would be lost anyway.
Use it when portability and text-only access matter more than layout, styling, or embedded media.
NUMBERS at a glance
NUMBERS
Convert to NUMBERS when the recipient is expected to work further in Apple Numbers, especially for schedules, lightweight financial sheets, classroom materials, or visually arranged tables in Mac- and iPad-based workflows.
It is useful when the Apple editing experience matters more than cross-platform ubiquity.
For broad office interoperability, XLSX is usually the safer spreadsheet target.
