Compare the Markdown with the original document
Markdown cannot preserve every page-layout choice in a DOCX file. Check omitted features and image references before replacing a source document. Tracked changes, equations, headers and footers may carry content that this conversion does not reproduce.
Questions about DOCX to Markdown
Will the Markdown retain the exact page layout?
No. Markdown describes text structure rather than Word page positioning.
Are linked images downloaded?
Only supported local embedded image relationships are extracted. External relationships are not fetched.
Should I review converted tables and lists?
Yes. Complex document structures may not map to the supported Markdown subset. Review warnings and compare with the original.
