How this pair works

Your Word 97 (DOC) file is parsed into a canonical screenplay model (by verified content, not just the file extension), then rendered as TextBundle. TextBundle background: TextBundle (2014, introduced by the makers of Ulysses with Bear’s Shiny Frog) standardized how text apps exchange documents with assets; screenwriting apps adopted it for Fountain files.
