The document and the intended outcome
A DOCX contains short headings and paragraphs without critical visual layout. Convert it, then compare wording and paragraph order with the source document.
Make this example work for your file
For a text-only reading copy, compare the extracted beginning and ending with the Word original. Important information stored in unsupported document elements may need a different conversion workflow.
Choose only the settings this case needs
Use .docx and choose a simple text source. Export directly from Word or another compatible editor when exact page breaks, tables or images are essential.
When the example needs a different approach
Legacy binary Word files are not supported. Save a DOCX from a suitable editor or export PDF there.
Check the result
Text is reflowed. Original layout, images and complex styling are not preserved; legacy DOC files are unsupported.
Keep the original. When this task produces a file, reopen the download in the application where you will use it and inspect the affected pages. An illustration explains the operation; it is not a recorded processing test.

- Reflow changes pages and line breaks. This is a text reading copy, not a print-faithful rendering of the original Word design.
- Legacy binary Word files are not supported. Save a DOCX from a suitable editor or export PDF there.
