Description
Hi,
When trying to convert this .docx document
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/WG1_RL1/TSGR1_120b/Docs//R1-2501739.zip
to .md, the result is that the markitdown failed to convert the words that are in macros: Proposals 1,2,3,4 and Observations 1,2,3. All the rest text converts properly.
Original .docx:
Output .md:
Environment
Python 3.10.11
Markitdown 0.1.1

Research direction
Start by downloading the linked ZIP and reproducing the conversion with Python 3.10.11 and Markitdown 0.1.1. Inspect the DOCX conversion path for how text inside macros is handled. Done means the words in Proposals 1–4 and Observations 1–3 appear in the generated Markdown while the existing text remains intact.
