I want to download Tanach, or at least Chumash, in a word type format. I want to be able copy and paste etc... Any help would be much appreciated. Yasher Kokachem.

Edit: Mechon Mamre texts are encoded in Win-1255. Answers with UFT-8 formats are desired for Linux users to view and search the files from a terminal.

    What is word type format? Do you mean Word-type (i.e. Microsoft Word-type) format?

Mechon Mamre's free offline resources may be what you're looking for.

  • Problem (for me) is those files are encoded in "charset=Windows-1255" not UTF-8, so for example I cannot view or search in a Linux terminal. UFT-8 encoding would be good.

Wikitext is also good. http://he.wikisource.org/wiki/עמוד_ראשי

  • Where exactly to download the text? I couldn't find. Also their "download PDF/other formats" function (along the left menu panel) is still in development and hasn't worked for me in recent past.

  • AFAIK Hebrew Wikisource's Tanakh text is MAM (מקרא על פי המסורה) so this answer is really just the same as the answer that recommends MAM.

If an Excel file would meet your needs with every pasuk in Tanach appearing as a separate row then an excellent resource is a Google spreadsheet from מקרא על פי המסורה: The Mikra al Pi HaMasora project at WikiText/WikiSource.

I'm pretty sure it is UTF-8 compatible. It can be downloaded to XLSX and CSV among other formats from the File / Download selection from the Google docs menu.

Caveat is that sometimes comments are encoded within the pasuk text, but it shouldn't hinder your ability to search for things.
