How Word conversion works
Our engine parses the internal structure of your Word files to produce clean, semantic Markdown — not a naive text dump.
Native OOXML parsing preserves heading levels, bold, italic, and inline formatting
Nested lists with mixed numbering and bullet styles are correctly mapped
Table structures including merged cells and header rows are preserved
Embedded images are extracted and referenced in the Markdown output
Track changes and comments are stripped for clean final output
Legacy .doc files are handled through automatic format detection and conversion
