Docx Markdown Editor

Edit DOCX content as Markdown directly in VS Code, then round-trip changes back to the original document with Pandoc.

Features

  • Open .docx files as Markdown
  • Sync edits back to .docx on save
  • Convert Markdown, DOCX, and HTML to other supported formats
  • Create a new blank .docx file from the Explorer context menu

Requirements

  • Pandoc installed and available on PATH

Usage

  1. Right-click a .docx file in Explorer.
  2. Choose Open as Markdown.
  3. Edit the generated .md file.
  4. Save the file to write changes back to .docx.
  5. Right-click a folder and choose New .docx.. to create a blank document.

Conversion

  • .docx -> .md, .pdf, .html
  • .md -> .docx, .pdf, .html, .epub
  • .html -> .md, .docx, .pdf

Notes

  • Temporary Markdown files are created alongside the source as .docx.md.
