What it keeps

Clean Markdown, ready for Obsidian.

One note, with the structure you can see in the file.

Headings
Word’s Title and Heading 1 to 6 styles become # headings.
Lists and tables
Bullet and numbered lists keep their nesting. Tables become Markdown tables.
Text and links
Bold, italic, struck-out text and links carry over. Word’s table of contents is left out.

In your vault

Put AI to work on the note.
