Description
Hi, I recently came across a use case involving ingesting image descriptions into a vector database. We currently use markitdown for both PPTX and DOCX files. While PPTX support for image extraction is available, I noticed that similar support is not present for DOCX.
Are there any plans to add image description support for DOCX in the near future?

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by comparing the existing PPTX image extraction support with the DOCX conversion path, then determine how image descriptions should be represented in the Markdown output; done means DOCX images produce descriptions suitable for the reported ingestion use case.
