When you download a Google Doc directly from Google Docs by going to File → Download → Microsoft Word (.docx), the original layout, fonts, headings, tables, and images are usually preserved. Google’s built-in converter is designed to keep formatting intact, especially for standard documents like reports, letters, or resumes. Minor changes may only appear if the document uses very custom fonts or complex layouts.

If you are converting multiple Google Docs or entire business data from Google Workspace, tools like the MailConverterTools Google Workspace Backup Tool help download Google Docs along with other Workspace items to your computer. This approach ensures documents are saved locally in compatible formats, making it easier to open them in Microsoft Word while maintaining structure and readability.
