What I tested
A small page in Logseq OG 1.0.0 (the Markdown file-graph app, run on Linux under a virtual display): a nested outline with a link, two task blocks (one TODO, one DONE) and a three-column table. I ran the plugin's own page-menu item, Export page to .docx, then opened the file it wrote in LibreOffice 25.2.
No Pandoc, no command line: the plugin builds the .docx itself.
What came out
- The page title and the blocks that have children became Word headings (title, "Project kickoff", "Goals", "Risks", "Status table").
- The TODO and DONE blocks became lines marked
[ ]and[x]; they are not Word checkboxes. - The
[[Research Notes]]page link became plain text. - The table kept its header row and all rows and columns.
- Blocks without children came out as plain paragraphs in this default setting, not as bullets. The plugin has a Lists mode and a depth setting for that; I did not test them in this run.
Limits worth knowing
- File graphs only (Logseq OG). The Logseq DB version is not supported or tested.
- Tested on Linux with LibreOffice, not in Microsoft Word, and not on Windows or macOS.
- This was one small page. Real graphs with queries, whiteboards or embeds will differ; queries and whiteboards are not converted.
See it yourself
A screenshot of the resulting file, rendered in LibreOffice, is in the repository README. It comes from a longer demo page that also has images: https://github.com/MegatronJeremy/logseq-docx-export?utm_source=devto&utm_campaign=h-demo
A quick check you can run on any exporter's output: unzip the .docx and search word/document.xml for leftover syntax such as [[, (( and {{.
