Hey,

I will have a look into this and get back to you. I'm not sure why that is happening.

I have been meaning to remove all mentions for support for Microsoft word in general though. Especially on Windows machines it is very hard to predict exactly what type of output Word is going to generate.

I would appreciate if you keep you issue reporting to Github rather then on the reviews for the add-on but feel free to write what you think on the reviews one way or another.

Thanks for all the info. Currently looking into the issue though might be a day or two to get to the bottom of it

Hey,

Thanks for sending on all the information. Especially the actually html files.

The short and long of the issue is there Word just does not produce predictable HTML when you save a Word document. It appears the superscript symbols actually break the each line and the parser stop looking for information after this.

Unfortunately after having done a bit of work with the Word HTML files I have found they are actually too difficult to support consistently across systems.

To close this ticket I'm going to do the following:

• Remove all word references from the docs

• Add a word to LibreOffice migration docs

TLDR
Word won't work but there is a simple migration path to fix your error:

0. Install LibreOffice (Free / OpenSource Word equvilant)
1. Open the file in LibreOffice
2. Save as a HTML file
3. Upload file to Anki

Let me know if that doesn't work!
