I entered,

.\bin\md2short.ps1 -overwrite -modern -output $env:USERPROFILE/Documents/short-out-ps.docx './test/short/guidelines.md'

The output was this.

What version of pandoc are you using? And which operating system?

EDIT: I just realized you are using 0.4.0 of the templates which was released in March 2022, there was a bug in the code that was fixed in May 2022, can you try the latest branch?

I got it to work by downloading the main master branch and not a branch in one of the releases. Also, for others, it should be worth noting the below string works when converting a whole folder of files.

.\bin\md2long.ps1 -overwrite -modern -output $env:USERPROFILE/Documents/short-out-ps.docx './test/long/*.md'
