Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to use Word's "replace" function (in my
case it's Word 2007) to change a page of HTML (.docx) into markdown
format (e.g. changing all words/phrases in italics to words/phrases with
asterisks before and after). I'd also like to know if this would work
in reverse, i.e. taking a text file written in markdown and having Word
convert it into HTML (replacing ### with level three headings, replacing
words surrounded with double-asterisks into bold text, etc.).
Is this possible?
Thanks. :-)

Some replacements should be easy to do with search/replace, others might be more cumbersome.

A dose of VBA could certainly help (then also for MD-->DOC(X).
A quick online search results in:
online convert Word 2 MD
https://word-to-markdown.herokuapp.com/
universal converter
https://pandoc.org/
I haven't tested either ...

You can save your MS Word document as Markdown document without any manual changes, using Writage plugin. It will allow you to open, edit and save MD files in MS Word or save DOCX files in MD format from MS Word.
