What Word features are converted?

The tool converts headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, links, lists (bulleted and numbered), and tables. Images are referenced but not embedded.

Are Word styles preserved?

Semantic styles like Heading 1, Heading 2 are converted to Markdown headings. Custom formatting like colors and fonts are removed.

Does it work with .doc files?

The tool supports .docx format (Word 2007 and later). Older .doc files need to be saved as .docx first in Microsoft Word.
