Evaluation notes
What to check before installing
Choose the input and output
Use a Word skill when the final handoff needs editable paragraphs, headings and tables. Keep claims grounded in the supplied material and inspect the rendered document, not only the ZIP file.
- +Draft an editable report: Build a native DOCX structure from supplied notes, with real heading styles and editable tables.
- +Revise a Word document: Preserve the source document and inspect tracked changes, tables and pagination where the edit affects them.
Keep evidence with the deliverable
Source review, an editorial example and a successful runtime test answer different questions. Record which one you actually have.
- +Keep the supplied input, selected source revision, runtime and output file together.
- +Check the saved artifact and record any limitations or failures.
- +The examples identify how they were produced; they are not a comparative benchmark.
FAQ
Common questions
Is DOCX generation the same as PDF extraction?
No. DOCX generation creates or edits a Word document. PDF extraction reads an existing PDF; scanned inputs may need OCR before their content can be used in a report.
Can the generated document remain editable?
Use native DOCX paragraphs, styles and tables rather than placing page screenshots into Word. Inspect the saved file's structure and rendered layout.

Structured notes to an editable Word brief
- Input
- A fictional product launch brief in JSON, with supplied changes and unresolved publication items.
- Output
- An editable DOCX with native headings, paragraphs and a project-context table.
Saved paragraphs and table rows are compared with the input; the rendered page is inspected for layout problems.
Original editorial fixture made with a document library. No real launch date or business result is invented, and this is not a comparative Skill benchmark.
