What happened? When attempting to convert a Microsoft Word (.doc) file to Markdown, markitdown fails with an UnsupportedFormatException indicating that no converter recognized the stream’s format:

`INFO - File download completed in 0.85s. Content-Type: application/msword, Content-Length: 102912 … markitdown._exceptions.UnsupportedFormatException: Could not convert stream to Markdown. No converter attempted a conversion, suggesting that the filetype is simply not supported.
