This is a cross-category conversion from Diagram (PlantUML Diagram) to Document (Word 97-2003). While these formats serve different purposes, Xonvert extracts the compatible data from your PlantUML Diagram source and maps it into the Word 97-2003 format. Diagram files typically contain software architecture documentation, while Document files are used for legacy documents. The conversion bridges these two domains, allowing you to repurpose your content across different workflows.
