No asterisks, no hashes, no rows of pipe characters. Copy the reply, paste it into the converter, click Copy formatted, paste into Word or Google Docs — headings, tables, and code arrive as formatting.
Nothing uploads when you paste. On the next page, use Copy ▾ above the preview, then paste into Word or Google Docs.
The small copy icon under a ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini reply puts the reply's Markdown on the clipboard — every heading, list, table, and equation marked up exactly. Selecting the text with the mouse copies the web page instead, and equations and code arrive garbled.
Copy one reply at a time for long conversations; the per-reply button always captures the complete Markdown.
Cmd-V or Ctrl-V into the left panel. The right panel renders the reply as a page: headings, bold, tables, highlighted code, and equations, all as they will look in the document.
Nothing uploads. The preview and the clipboard copy are built in your browser.
The Copy menu above the preview puts the rendered document on the clipboard as rich text. Headings become headings, asterisks become bold, pipe tables become real tables, code keeps its monospace font, and each equation travels as a crisp image.
Copy plain text is the other option: the same reply with every Markdown marker stripped, for places that take plain text only.
Cmd-V or Ctrl-V in the document. Word applies its own Heading styles to the headings, so the navigation pane and a table of contents work; Google Docs and Outlook keep the same structure.
If Word keeps the converter's fonts and you want your document's, choose Paste Options → Merge Formatting after pasting.
Assistants write their replies in Markdown, a plain-text convention where **bold** means bold, # Title means a heading, and | a | b |draws a table. The chat page renders those markers into formatting for you; the copy button hands you the markers themselves. Word has no Markdown reader, so it shows the characters. Selecting the reply with the mouse and copying gets you the page’s HTML instead, which keeps bold and headings but mangles equations and code. The fix is a renderer in between: turn the Markdown into a formatted document first, then copy that.
Pick by what has to survive. Formatting alone is a paste; editable equations are a file.
| Route | Keeps | Loses | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copy formatted (this guide) | Headings, bold and italic, lists, tables, code blocks, links; equations as sharp images | Equations are pictures, not editable math | Adding a reply to an existing document, an email, or a Google Doc |
| Download DOCX | Everything above, plus equations as native, editable Office Math | Nothing — it is a new file rather than a paste | A new document, a submission, anything with formulas that must stay editable |
| Copy plain text | The words, line breaks, and list indentation, with every *, #, and | removed | All formatting, by design | Form fields, chat apps, or a document where you want to apply styles yourself |
| Google Docs' Edit → Paste from Markdown | Headings, emphasis, lists, and links from raw Markdown, without leaving Docs | Equations stay as raw LaTeX; code is not highlighted; Docs only | Short replies without math, when you are already in Google Docs |
Match the symptom, apply the fix.
You pasted the Markdown source. The copy button hands the clipboard plain text in which **bold** is literally two asterisks, and Word pastes what it is given. Paste the reply into the converter first and use Copy formatted; the clipboard then holds real bold and real headings. If you only want the markers gone, Copy plain text strips them without adding any formatting.
Same cause. Word does not parse pipe tables, but the converter does: after Copy formatted, the paste is a real table with a header row and aligned columns you can style, sort, or resize in Word or Docs. For a spreadsheet instead, hover the table in the preview and use its Excel chip.
ChatGPT writes mathematics as LaTeX and Word cannot render it from a paste. The converter renders every equation in the preview, and Copy formatted pastes each one as a sharp image that sits inline with the text. When the equations must stay editable — a submission, a paper — click Download DOCX instead: they arrive as native Office Math. You can also click a single equation in the preview to copy just that formula as editable Word math.
The page-selection copy carries ChatGPT's layout, not the code styling, so Word reflows it in the body font. Copy formatted keeps code blocks in a monospace face with a shaded background, and inline code as monospace runs. Very old email clients that drop all styling still show the code, just in the body font.
Rich-text pastes bring their own font names along. In Word, click the Paste Options button that appears after pasting and pick Merge Formatting: the headings, bold, lists, and tables stay, and the text takes your document's fonts. In Google Docs, select all and choose the font once; the structure is unaffected.
Because the clipboard holds Markdown, not formatting. ChatGPT's copy button copies the reply's Markdown source, a plain-text convention in which **two asterisks** mean bold, a leading # means a heading, and | pipes | draw a table. Word pastes plain text literally, so the markers appear as characters. Converting the Markdown to rich text before pasting, which is what the Copy formatted button does, turns each marker into the formatting it stands for.
Copy the reply with its copy button, paste it into the converter at llm2doc.app, open the Copy menu above the preview, and choose Copy formatted. Then paste into Word. Headings, bold, lists, tables, links, and code blocks arrive as real Word formatting, and equations arrive as sharp images. For editable equations, download the DOCX instead of copying; that route writes native Office Math.
Yes. Copy formatted puts HTML on the clipboard, which Google Docs pastes as headings, bold, lists, tables, and links. Docs also has its own Edit → Paste from Markdown command for raw Markdown; it handles the basics but leaves LaTeX equations as text and does not highlight code, so use the converter route when a reply has math or code. The Open in Google Docs export in the converter combines both steps: it copies the formatted document and opens a new Doc to paste into.
With Copy formatted, each equation is pasted as a crisp image that sits inline with the text and scales with the page — readable in Word, Docs, and Outlook, but not editable as math. To edit equations in Word, download the DOCX: every formula becomes native Office Math you can click into. To bring over a single equation, click it in the preview; that copies it as editable Word math on its own.
Use Copy plain text in the same Copy menu. It strips every *, #, backtick, and pipe while keeping the words, paragraph breaks, and list indentation, so the text reads naturally in a form field, a chat message, or a document where you would rather apply your own styles. Nothing is rendered or rasterized; it is the reply with the markers removed.
Yes. Every major assistant writes its replies in Markdown and every one of them has a copy button under the reply, so the four steps are the same: copy, paste into the converter, Copy formatted, paste into the document. The converter also normalizes the equation delimiters the assistants disagree about, so math from any of them renders.
Free, with no signup, quota, or watermark. Both copy modes run entirely in your browser: the rendered page is turned into clipboard HTML locally and nothing is sent to a server. The Word download is the one export that uses our conversion service, for the equation translation, and it keeps nothing after the request.
Paste it, click Copy formatted, and paste into Word. The asterisks are gone.
