Why Convert TXT to TEXT?

Converting a .txt file to the .text extension can be useful when working with legacy applications or systems that specifically recognize the .text file extension. Functionally, the content remains plain text, but using the .text extension ensures compatibility in workflows that require or enforce that naming convention.
