I am pasting documents that I have highlighted in Microsoft Word into Obsidian and wondering if there is a way to keep the highlights wen I paste the documents. I want to start working in Obsidian rather than Word for research but it is a shame to lose all those highlights.
I have a similar concern… I have lots of highlighted and color coded bolding which I would like to import into Obsidian (and comments) … how can one do this (simple copy paste produced a jpg, or plain text options) ?
input-file.docx and markdown-output.md are placeholders that you need the replace with the correct / desired paths. If you are working current directory, the filename will suffice, but otherwise, you need the full paths to the existing input file and the desired output path.
Note the +markextension for the markdown format. This is what ensures, that the Word highlights are formatted like so: ==highlight== in the markdown file.
