Apart from document conversion, Aspose.Words for C++ API allows tons of document manipulation features for C++ developers. In case your Microsoft Word DOC file format is password protected, you can still open it using the API.

This object contains the Password property, which specifies the password string.
// when loading password protected document, the password is passed to the document's constructor using a LoadOptions object.
auto options = MakeObject<LoadOptions>(u"docPassword");
// load the document from the local file system by filename:
SharedPtr<Document> doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"Encrypted.doc", options);

SharedPtr<Presentation>pres = MakeObject<Presentation>();
// access first slide
SharedPtr<ILayoutSlide>layout = pres->get_LayoutSlides()->idx_get(0);
// add empty slide
pres->get_Slides()->AddEmptySlide(layout);
// adding Author
SharedPtr<ICommentAuthor> author = pres->get_CommentAuthors()->AddAuthor(u"John Doe", u"MF");
// set position of comments
System::Drawing::PointF point = System::Drawing::PointF(0.2f, 0.2f);
// add slide comment for an author on slide 1
author->get_Comments()->AddComment(u"Hello John, this is a slide comment", pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(1), point, DateTime::get_Now());
// access ISlide 1
SharedPtr<ISlide> slide = pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(0);
// save presentation as Pptx
pres->Save(output.pptx, Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Pptx);

What is DOC File Format?
The Microsoft Word Binary File Format (DOC) is a proprietary document file format employed by Microsoft Office Word. It represents a document structure that is independent of any specific computer architecture or operating system. The DOC format serves as a container file, utilizing a binary format to store various types of data, including formatted text, images, charts, and more. The binary nature of the DOC format renders it non-human-readable, but there exist several programs, such as Microsoft Word and LibreOffice, that can both read from and write to DOC files.
The DOC format was initially introduced in Word for Windows 2.0 back in 1987. It has undergone several revisions since then, with the most recent iteration being the Office Open XML format introduced in Office 2007. One of the key advantages of the DOC format lies in its compatibility with Microsoft Word, one of the most widely utilized word processing applications globally. This compatibility allows users to create and modify documents using Microsoft Word and conveniently share them with others who also utilize the application. Furthermore, many other word processing applications possess the capability to read from and write to the DOC format, making it a versatile choice for document sharing purposes.
The widespread adoption of the DOC format stems from its integration with Microsoft Word, providing users with a robust and feature-rich environment for creating and managing documents. The format’s flexibility extends beyond Microsoft Word, enabling users to work with DOC files using alternative word processing software. This versatility ensures seamless document collaboration and interchangeability among users, regardless of their chosen word processing application.
What is POWERPOINT File Format?
PowerPoint is a widely used presentation software that offers various file formats to save and share presentations. Understanding the different file formats in PowerPoint is essential for compatibility, sharing, and maintaining the visual integrity of presentations.
The default file format in PowerPoint is PPT (PowerPoint Presentation). PPT files are compatible with older versions of PowerPoint but may have limitations in terms of compatibility with other software applications. However, with newer versions, the PPTX (PowerPoint Open XML Presentation) format has become more prevalent. PPTX offers several advantages, including smaller file sizes, improved data recovery, and enhanced compatibility with other programs.
In addition to PPT and PPTX, PowerPoint supports other file formats like PDF (Portable Document Format). PDF files are widely used for sharing and publishing presentations because they preserve the formatting, layout, and graphics of the original slides, ensuring consistent viewing across different devices and platforms.
PowerPoint also allows saving presentations in formats like POT (PowerPoint Template) and POTX (PowerPoint Open XML Template). These formats serve as templates for creating new presentations with predefined styles, layouts, and designs.
For compatibility with other software applications, PowerPoint supports formats like ODP (OpenDocument Presentation) and HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). ODP files are open-source and can be used with software like LibreOffice and Google Slides. HTML files are web-compatible, allowing presentations to be displayed in web browsers.
