Move a Markdown draft into Word

When to use Markdown to Word

Use the Word-compatible export when a reviewer wants an editable document instead of Markdown source. It is useful for a brief or handover containing headings and lists. If your recipient requires a native DOCX attachment, open the exported DOC in Word and save a DOCX copy before sending it.

Worked conversion example

The workspace starts with this sample. Replace it with your content to preview your own conversion.

# Client brief

## Goal

Explain the new onboarding process.

## Review checklist

- Check facts
- Confirm the next step

<h1>Client brief</h1>
<h2>Goal</h2>
<p>Explain the new onboarding process.</p>
<h2>Review checklist</h2>
<ul>
<li>Check facts</li>
<li>Confirm the next step</li>
</ul>

The client brief keeps its title, Goal section, and review checklist as HTML headings, paragraphs, and list items. The example shows the markup before the download wrapper is added. Download packages this content as a Word-compatible .doc document with UTF-8 encoding.

Check before using the result

Check the opened file in Word before sharing it. The export is HTML with a .doc extension, so Word may show a format notice. Native Word styles, tracked changes, review comments, and page layout settings are not generated. Complex tables and remotely hosted images may need manual adjustment.
