DOCX is usually the cleanest Word input for Markdown

DOCX files contain more structured document information than older .doc files, which makes them a better source for Markdown conversion. The goal is to preserve the authoring structure: headings become Markdown headings, lists become Markdown lists, and simple tables become Markdown tables.

This page is the canonical place for docx to md, docx to markdown, docx to md converter, convert docx to md file, and DOCX to GitHub Markdown queries. Those keyword variants stay together because the user task is the same.
