What it is
This skill lets you generate polished Word documents (.docx files) with full control over formatting — headers, footers, tables of contents, bullet points, tables, images, and more. You can also read existing Word files to extract text, accept tracked changes, or convert documents to images. Perfect for creating reports, memos, letters, and templates without opening Microsoft Word.
