I think its most common, most current usage, "doc" refers to Microsoft Word's default (or former default) format which is not an open standard, although there are many programs that will work with .doc format files, converting files to and from Microsoft's proprietary .doc format.
However, historically there have been other definitions applied to the "doc" format
according to the all-knowing Wikipedia.
I assumed the OP was talking about Microsoft's proprietary .doc format because that's the usage I'm most familiar with.
