How Markdown Maps to Word
| Markdown | Syntax | In Word |

| Strikethrough | ~~text~~ | Strikethrough |
| Link | [text](url) | Hyperlink |
| Bullet list | - item | Bulleted list |
| Numbered list | 1. item | Numbered list |
| Checklist | - [x] done | ☑ done |
| Table | | a | b | | Word table with header row |
| Code block | ```js | Code paragraph style |
| Quote | > text | Quote style |
| Math | $x^2$ or $$...$$ | Word equation |
Download vs. Copy and Paste
Download .docxwhen you want a standalone file to email, attach, or open later. It uses Word's built-in styles, so changing the document theme or the Heading 1 style updates every heading at once.
Copy for Word when you are adding to a document that already exists. Pasting keeps the formatting but adopts the fonts and colors of the document you paste into. Tables, lists, bold, links, and code all survive the paste.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert markdown to Word?
Paste your markdown into the box, then click Download .docx. You get a Word file with real Heading 1 to Heading 6 styles, bulleted and numbered lists, tables, and code blocks. Or click Copy for Word and paste into an open document to keep its existing theme.
Why does pasting markdown into Word show asterisks and pound signs?
Word treats pasted plain text literally, so **bold** stays as asterisks and # Heading stays as a pound sign. This tool renders the markdown first and puts formatted text on the clipboard, which Word understands.
Does the .docx use real Word styles?
Yes. Headings use Word's built-in Heading styles, so they show up in the Navigation Pane and in an automatic table of contents. Code uses a "Code" paragraph style, quotes use the "Quote" style, and links use the Hyperlink style, so you can restyle everything at once.
Can I convert ChatGPT or Claude answers to Word?
Yes. AI assistants answer in markdown. Use the copy button in ChatGPT or Claude, paste the result here, and download the .docx. Tables and checklists come through as Word tables and checkbox characters.
Do I need Pandoc to convert markdown to DOCX?
No. Pandoc is the command line standard for document conversion and is worth installing for batch jobs. For one document at a time, this page does the common MD to DOCX conversion in the browser with nothing to install: headings, lists, tables, links, quotes, and code.
Does it convert LaTeX math to Word equations?
Yes. Math written as $...$, \(...\), $$...$$, or \[...\] becomes a native Word equation in the .docx, editable with Word's equation editor. Prices like $5 and $10 are left alone. For answers copied from ChatGPT, see the ChatGPT to Word converter.
Are images included?
Images are kept as a linked placeholder with their alt text rather than embedded, because a browser cannot download most remote images for security reasons. Insert the image in Word afterward if you need it inline.
Is my document uploaded?
No. The .docx is generated in your browser with JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
