Prepare the source
Use standard Markdown where possible. A ZIP should keep the Markdown file and its local image paths together. The converter checks file sizes before upload and the conversion service checks them again.

Input, output, safety, and limits
This page is for the conversion workflow. The full syntax matrix is maintained separately so you can check technical support without repeating it around the editor.
Review the finished DOCX
Text, headings, lists, and tables remain editable. Images and rendered Mermaid diagrams are inserted as pictures. Review page breaks and recipient-specific fonts before sending a final document.
File handling
Files are isolated per task and retained only for conversion and download. They are scheduled for automatic cleanup; do not upload secrets or content you are not permitted to process.

FAQ
Questions people ask before converting
See what the converter supports, how templates affect the result, how files are handled, and what to check before downloading.
How long are uploaded files retained?
Files are temporary. Completed conversions are kept for up to 60 minutes by default, downloaded files are normally removed after about 10 minutes, and failed conversions after about 30 minutes. These times may be shortened by the server configuration. Download important results promptly because an expired conversion cannot be restored.
Why did a conversion fail or expire?
Common causes include an oversized file, unsupported or unsafe ZIP contents, invalid formulas or diagrams, a temporary service problem, or waiting too long before downloading the result. The page shows a readable error message. Correct invalid Markdown or ZIP contents before retrying; connection and server errors may require an administrator.
How long does a conversion normally take?
Short text-only documents usually finish quickly. Images, complex math, multiple Mermaid diagrams, citations, and long documents take longer. Keep the page open and watch the overall progress until the file is ready or an error message appears.
Can I generate a table of contents, list of figures, or list of tables?
A Word table of contents can be enabled from the converter options. Identified and captioned figures and tables can participate in figure and table lists when the selected template and Word editor support those fields. Update fields after opening the DOCX if the editor requests it.
What upload and ZIP safety limits are enforced?
Markdown and ZIP file sizes are checked before upload and again on the conversion server. ZIP packages are also checked for unsafe paths, too many files, unusual compression, excessive extracted size, unsupported contents, and insufficient storage space.
What should I do if progress appears stuck?
Do not submit the same document repeatedly. Keep the page open for a little longer. If an error or expiration message appears, follow that message, correct the Markdown or uploaded files, and start again. If the page reports a network or service connection problem, contact the site administrator.
Why can automatic numbering duplicate numbers already in my headings?
Word automatic numbering and text typed into a heading are separate. A heading written as "## 2. Background" can therefore display two numbers when numbering is enabled. Remove the typed number or disable automatic heading numbering; DocuCraftBox does not guess whether every numeric prefix is intentional content.
