Why DOC to MD Conversion Needs Review

Word documents mix semantic styles with visual formatting, so DOC to MD conversion cannot reproduce every page-layout detail.

Knowing what Markdown can represent helps you review DOC to MD output accurately instead of expecting a visual copy.

Visual Styles Are Not Structure
Text that only looks like a heading may remain a paragraph during DOC to MD conversion unless the source uses proper Word heading styles.
Complex Tables and Page Elements
DOC to MD output may simplify merged cells, text boxes, headers, footers, page numbers, equations, and other layout-dependent elements.
Legacy DOC Files Need an Extra Step
The converter accepts modern .docx files, not legacy .doc files; save older documents as .docx before starting the conversion.
