<p>Thanks for writing in!</p>
<p>My sympathies for the need to work in .doc files.</p>
<p>Your best bet for converting MultiMarkdown to .doc is via
the<br>
OpenDocument format, and using LibreOffice to convert to .doc (or
RTF<br>
for that matter). LibreOffice does a decent job at this --
typically<br>
much better than Apple's converter in my experience.</p>
<p>It is possible for someone to write a native MMD->.docx
converter. I<br>
imagine it would be similar to the MMD->.fodt format, except
that, to my<br>
knowledge, there is no single file format for .docx files (just
zipped<br>
folders of a mess of files). I have no need for a MMD->.docx
converter,<br>
and don't anticipate personally writing one. As MMD is open
source,<br>
anyone can contribute should they desire, and I would gladly add
support<br>
for it to Composer as well. Thus far, no one has taken me up on
my<br>
standing offer to help volunteers wanting to write a better RTF<br>
converter, so I wouldn't hold your breath.</p>
<p>As for CriticMarkup, I have written a fair amount about this
already:</p>

</pre>
<p>I don't anticipate there being any explicit support for
converting CM<br>
into .doc files in the future.</p>

my idea than I had considered.</p></div>Adam Rice
