md2word.convert_file("input.md", "output.docx")

# With custom configuration
config = md2word.Config.from_file("config.json")
md2word.convert_file("input.md", "output.docx", config=config, toc=True)

# Convert from string
markdown_content = "# Hello World\n\nThis is a test."
md2word.convert(markdown_content, "output.docx")

# Programmatic configuration
config = md2word.Config()
config.default_font = "Arial"
config.styles["heading_1"] = md2word.StyleConfig(
    font_name="Arial",
    font_size=24,
    bold=True,
    alignment="center",
    numbering_format="chapter",
)
md2word.convert_file("input.md", "output.docx", config=config)
