Can it open .doc files?

No. .doc is the Word 97-2003 binary format and shares nothing with .docx internally. Save it as .docx in Word or WPS first.

Why does the layout differ from Word?

Markdown and HTML have no concept of font sizes, columns or floating text boxes, so the export keeps structure rather than layout. For a pixel-faithful page, use Word's own Export as PDF.

Are lists from non-English Word versions detected?

Yes. Those versions attach numbering to the paragraph style, and the tool follows the style chain to the numbering definition: ordered lists become 1. and bullets become -. If the original text was typed by hand, it stays as ordinary text.

Do tracked changes and comments come through?

No. The export reflects the document as it currently reads; revision marks and comment balloons are left out. Accept or reject changes in Word first.

Do images stay in place?

Each image lands in the paragraph it belongs to, but wrap-around positioning has no Markdown equivalent, so it becomes its own line.
