what should I do if I want to change the color and font size when md2word

Originally the problem I encountered was that using the --reference-doc option had no effect. Then I searched for the reference #5974
But I still don’t quite understand it. If I understand it correctly, this means that styles such as font size and color are not styles that users can configure in the template.
So I want to understand directly, if I want to change the converted font size and text color (not the default blue), how should I set it up?

You can adjust font size and text color. First get a copy of the default reference.docx:

$ pandoc --print-default-data-file reference.docx > ref.docx

Now open this in Word. Go to Format->Styles and modify the "Body Text" style. Change the font and Apply. You should see the font in the sample document change. Now save this document, and use it in future pandoc conversions with pandoc --reference-doc ref.docx.

To change the heading colors and font, modify "Heading 1" etc.

I finally got it to work, I didn't used to realize I should have changed the format from a more essential place.

Incidentally, my word was changed in this place, there seems to be no “format” entry, I changed it from here, for posterity!

The other thing is that using > for template generation doesn't seem to open the file correctly in powershell, using the official -o method is fine.

The last thing is that I also realized in retrospect that my question was not very clear, so I apologize for that. Thx for detailed reply🥰
