Import your existing Word documents into SoloEnt by converting them to Markdown format.

​
Single file conversion

Convert individual .docx files to Markdown:
1

Find your .docx file in the file manager.
2

Right-click

Right-click on the file to open the context menu.
3

Convert

Select “Convert to Markdown” from the menu.
4

Wait for completion

The file converts automatically. A new .md file appears in the same location.
The original .docx file remains unchanged. The converted Markdown file is created as a new file.

​
Batch conversion

Convert multiple Word documents at once using the “Markdown Hub” plugin:
1

Install Markdown Hub

  1. Click the Extensions icon in the left sidebar (third icon)
  2. Search for “Markdown Hub”
  3. Click Install (it’s free)

3

Right-click on the folder containing your .docx files.
4

Convert all

Select “Convert to Markdown” to batch convert all documents in the folder.
Use batch conversion to import your entire existing work library at once.

​
Conversion quality

​
What converts well

  • Text content: Paragraphs, headings, lists
  • Basic formatting: Bold, italic, underline
  • Structure: Chapters, sections, subsections

​
What may need adjustment

  • Complex tables: May require manual formatting
  • Images: Need to be manually placed in the images folder
  • Custom styles: Convert to standard Markdown formatting
  • Comments and tracked changes: Not preserved
Review converted files for formatting issues. Complex Word documents may need manual cleanup.

​
After conversion

1

Open the converted Markdown file and check for formatting issues.
2

Fix formatting

Adjust any elements that didn’t convert cleanly.
3

Organize files

Move files to appropriate folders (chapters, outline, etc.).
4

Start editing

Begin working with your imported content.
Let Agent do the work: Ask Agent to handle these tasks automatically. For example: “Review the converted file and fix formatting issues” or “Organize imported files into chapters folder.”

​
Best practices

  • Use standard styles (Heading 1, 2, 3, etc.)
  • Avoid complex formatting
  • Remove unnecessary styling before conversion
  • Convert a single file to check quality
  • Adjust your Word document if needed
  • Then proceed with batch conversion
  • Keep your original .docx files
  • Store backups before converting
  • You can always reconvert if needed

​
Troubleshooting

  • Ensure file is a valid .docx format
  • Check file isn’t corrupted or password-protected
  • Try opening and resaving in Word
  • Convert to .txt first as a workaround
  • This is normal for complex documents
  • Manually adjust Markdown formatting
  • Simplify original Word document and reconvert
  • Check the same folder as the original
  • Look for a file with the same name but .md extension
  • Refresh the file manager
