Thank you for the reply, John, and for this awesome tool.

Originally, I was not using the styles extension because the User Guide 
makes it seem like that extension is used when docx is input, not output.

Regardless, I have tried now again with -t docx+styles as you suggest and 
am getting the same results. I have also tried adding the styles to my 
input: -f markdown+styles but get the same results. Side question, does it 
matter whether  extensions are added to the -f or -t formats?
