Why export to Markdown at all
Word is fine for reviewing and sending. Markdown is better for keeping: it diffs cleanly, works in any editor, and is what GitHub, GitLab and most documentation systems expect. Converting once beats retyping a finished document.
What survives the trip
Headings become # hashes, lists stay lists, links stay clickable, and basic tables come across as pipe tables. Text boxes, tracked changes and highly nested layouts usually flatten — that is the cost of a format that is meant to be plain text.
Going the other way
When someone needs the file back as a .docx, use Markdown to Word on the same site. Keeping one direction as the “source” and regenerating the other avoids a messy round-trip edit war.
Frequently asked questions
Does it accept .doc files?
Only .docx. Save or export older Word files as .docx first — that is the format Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice all write today.
Are images included?
The text comes across; embedded images are not unpacked into separate files. Add pictures back into your Markdown folder if you still need them.
