Yes, see kodymirus.cz/overleaf-html-sample/main.html. you need to pass 'make4ht -f odt -d out main.tex'.

I'm new, so can't upvote yet, but llz1722 is correct! "You can use Microsoft word to open the pdf downloaded from overleaf. The pdf will be automatically converted to a normal word document (enable you to comment and everything)."

You can try using pandoc: https://pandoc.org/

Use the following command:

pandoc -o output.docx -t docx input.tex

Welcome to TeX.SX! This is indeed a feature of (newer versions of?) MS Word. But in contrast to the other cited software like make4ht or pandoc , which are open source, you cannot see how it exactly is working and, as far as I could find, it is documented far less detailed. For a quick conversion, however, this may still be sufficient.

I have actually had a lot of issues with pandoc when trying to convert a scientific paper, especially concerning resized/split images and missing references.

However I had very acceptable results that only needed minor polishing when using a free web conversion service (https://smallpdf.com/pdf-to-word) to convert the .pdf that I generated from Overleaf to a .docx file.
