FB2 is a popular format for storing e-books. Applications for viewing such documents, for the most part, are cross-platform, available on both stationary and mobile operating systems. Actually, the demand for this format is dictated by the abundance of programs designed not only for viewing it (in more detail - below).

The FB2 format is extremely easy to read, both on a large computer screen and on much smaller displays of smartphones or tablets. And yet, sometimes users have a need to convert an FB2 file into a Microsoft Word document, be it an outdated DOC or a DOCX that replaced it. We will tell you how to do this in this article.

As it turned out, finding a suitable program for converting FB2 to Word is not so easy. They are there and there are quite a few of them, but most of them are either simply useless or also unsafe. And if some converters simply do not cope with the task, others will also dirtiest your computer or laptop with a bunch of unnecessary software from a well-known domestic corporation, so eager to get everyone hooked on their services.

Since everything is not so simple with converter programs, it would be much better to bypass this method altogether, especially since it is not the only one. If you know a good program with which you can translate FB2 to DOC or DOCX, write about it in the comments.

Using online conversion resources

On the endless expanses of the Internet, there are quite a few resources with which you can convert one format to another. Some of them also allow you to convert FB2 to Word. So that you do not look for a suitable site for a long time, we found it, or rather them, for you. You just have to choose the one that you like best.

Let's consider the online conversion process using the Convertio resource as an example.

1. Upload the document in FB2 format to the site. To do this, this online converter offers several methods:

• Specify the path to the folder on the computer;
• Upload a file from the cloud storage Dropbox or Google Drive;
• Provide a link to the document on the Internet.

Note: If you are not registered on this site, the maximum file size that can be downloaded cannot exceed 100 MB. Actually, in most cases this will be enough.

2. Make sure that FB2 is selected in the first window with the format, in the second select the appropriate format for the Word text document that you want to get as a result. It can be DOC or DOCX.

3. Now you can convert the file, just click on the red virtual button "Convert".

4. Download the converted file to your computer by clicking the green button "Download", or save it to cloud storage.

Now you can open the saved file in Microsoft Word, however, all the text is likely to be written in one piece. Therefore, you will need to edit the formatting. For more convenience, we recommend placing two windows side by side on the screen - FB2 readers and Word, and then start breaking the text into fragments, paragraphs, etc. Our instructions will help you cope with this task.

Some tricks in working with the FB2 format

The FB2 format is a kind of XML document that has a lot in common with common HTML. The latter, by the way, can be opened not only in a browser or a specialized editor, but also in Microsoft Word. Knowing this, it is quite easy to translate FB2 to Word.

1. Open the folder with the FB2 document you want to convert.

2. Click on it with the left mouse button once and rename, more precisely, change the specified format from FB2 to HTML. Confirm your intentions by clicking "Yes" in the pop-up window.

Note: If you cannot change the file extension, but can only rename it, follow these steps:

3. Now open the renamed HTML document. It will be displayed in the browser tab.

4. Highlight the page content by pressing "CTRL + A", and copy it using the keys "CTRL + C".

Note: In some browsers, the text from such pages is not copied. If you encounter a similar problem, just open the HTML file in another web browser.

5. All the content of the FB2-document, more precisely, already HTML, is now in the clipboard, from where you can (even need to) paste it into the Word.

Launch MS Word and click "CTRL + V" to paste the copied text.

Unlike the previous method (online converter), converting FB2 to HTML and then inserting it into Word preserves the paragraphing of the text. However, if necessary, you can always manually change the formatting of the text to make the text more readable.

Opening FB2 in Word directly

The methods described above have certain disadvantages:

• text formatting during conversion may change;

• images, tables, and other graphical data that may be contained in such a file will be lost;

• tags may appear in the converted file, fortunately, they are easy to remove.

Opening FB2 in Word directly is not without its drawbacks, but this method is, in fact, the simplest and most convenient.

1. Open Microsoft Word and select the command "Open other documents"(if the last files you worked with are shown, which is relevant for the latest versions of the program) or go to the menu "File" and press "Open" there.

2. In the explorer window that opens, select "All files" and specify the path to the document in FB2 format. Click on it and click open.

3. The file will open in a new window in Protected View. If you need to change it, click the button "Allow Editing".

You can learn more about what Protected View is and how to disable limited document functionality in our article.

Note: XML elements included in the FB2 file will be removed

Thus, we have opened an FB2 document in Word. All that remains is to work on the formatting and, if necessary (most likely, yes), remove the tags from it. To do this, press the keys CTRL + ALT + X.

1. Go to the menu "File" and select the command "Save as".

2. In the drop-down menu located under the line with the file name, select the extension DOCX. If necessary, you can also rename the document ..

3. Specify the path to save and click "Save".

That's all, now you know how you can convert an FB2 file to a Word document. Choose whichever method is convenient for you. By the way, reverse conversion is also possible, that is, a DOC or DOCX document can be converted to FB2. How to do this is described in our material.
