Overview

This skill reads text from and creates Microsoft Word (.docx) documents. It extracts full plain text from existing .docx files and generates new .docx files from simple Markdown-formatted content. The focus is fast, reliable conversion for automation and content pipelines.

How this skill works

The skill inspects .docx files and extracts all readable text, preserving paragraph boundaries and basic ordering. For creation, it converts simple Markdown input into a .docx document, mapping headings, paragraphs, and basic formatting into Word structures. Both operations are available via simple command-line entry points for integration into scripts and CI workflows.

When to use it

  • You need to extract the full text content of .docx files for indexing, search, or analysis.
  • You want to generate Word documents from Markdown source for distribution or reporting.
  • Automating document conversion as part of a content pipeline or batch job.
  • Converting legacy .docx files into plain text for data processing or NLP tasks.

Best practices

  • Provide clean, simple Markdown when creating documents to ensure predictable formatting.
  • Validate .docx files for corruption before processing to avoid extraction errors.
  • Use the tool in batch scripts for large-scale conversions to keep operations repeatable.
  • Check output documents for complex formatting needs; advanced styles may require manual adjustments.

Example use cases

  • Extract text from many .docx reports to build a searchable corpus for enterprise search.
  • Convert Markdown release notes into a polished .docx file to share with stakeholders.
  • Automate nightly conversion of generated Markdown documentation into Word for legal review.
  • Preprocess .docx resumes into plain text before feeding them into an applicant screening pipeline.
