Quick answer
How to export flashcards from Gemini Notebook to Microsoft Word
First, install the NotebookLM Exporter Chrome extension linked on this page. Next, open NotebookLM Studio, select the flashcard set and wait for the card canvas to load. Locate the Export ▾ button at the top of the flashcard canvas. Then, choose Markdown for a readable outline or CSV for a table-based Word workflow. Finally, download the source file, open or paste it into Microsoft Word, format the cards and save the finished document as DOCX.
Why export it?
Why export?
A flashcard deck often needs to become an editable handout or study guide. Word has no direct connection to NotebookLM, and formatting every term-definition pair manually is repetitive.
Native option check
Can Gemini Notebook handle this export natively?
NotebookLM's native flashcard download is CSV. The current extension does not create flashcard DOCX directly, so the accurate workflow is to export Markdown or CSV, format it in Word and save the result as DOCX.

Common follow-up questions
What people need to know before using this export
Can the extension directly export flashcards to DOCX?
Not currently. The supported route is Markdown or CSV into Word, followed by Save As DOCX.
Should I use Markdown or CSV for Word?
Markdown is easier for a reading-oriented study guide. CSV is easier when each flashcard should become a row in a Word table.
Can I make printable cards in Word?
Yes, but you must design the table or label layout in Word. Use the extension's printable PDF option when you do not need custom Word formatting.
