Trying to Convert nvAlt text file to MS Word .doc file

Hi,

I'm new to the Markdown movement. I am using Version 2.2b (105).

I have an nvAlt file that I want to convert to an msword (.doc) file.

I thought that when I converted it using the Note -> Export function that the resulting .doc file would have the document converted so that I would see words in bold rather than words surrounded by # signs.

The resulting .doc file when opened in Word shows the Markdown commands rather than the text formatted/stylized.

I opened the Markdown Preview window in nvAlt before exporting the file and the preview window is showing the way the .doc file should look.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
