You can convert OST to Word either by a manual approach or a professional approach. For the manual approach, export emails from the OST file (through Outlook) and save them as separate MSG or PDF files, then paste the content into Word. Alternatively, use "Save As" in Outlook to save emails in DOC/DOCX format if available.
But the drawbacks of this manual process are that it cannot open OST files directly in Word since they are Outlook-specific. Manual conversion takes time for bulk emails, and formatting might not get transferred properly.
The DRS Softech OST to PST Converter is a program that can easily convert Offline Storage Table (OST) files from Microsoft Outlook into DOC in some clicks. It comes in handy when users require migrating data, recovering inaccessible OST files, or moving emails and other items to another Outlook profile. Additionally, we will specify the easy steps to save OST emails to DOC/DOCX files.
