Word (DOCX) Document Processing

Overview

Create, edit, and convert Word (.docx, .html) files using the Syncfusion Word Library. This skill supports one operational modes — generating java code for the user's project.

Key Capabilities

Create & Edit: Documents (.docx, .rtf, .txt, .xml, .html), paragraphs, headings, styles, lists, tables, shapes, images, hyperlinks, bookmarks, watermarks, headers/footers, form fields, content controls.
Advanced Features: Mail merge (DataTable, JSON, XML, custom objects), track changes, comments, mathematical equations (LaTeX), compare/split/merge documents.
Conversion: HTML ↔ DOCX, RTF ↔ DOCX, Text ↔ DOCX, XML ↔ DOCX
Security: Password encryption/decryption, document protection with editable ranges, macro management

Prerequisites

Java SE 8.0(1.8) or above versions.
Syncfusion License: https://www.syncfusion.com/products/communitylicense

Quick Start Examples

Example 1: Generate Code (Mode 1)

User: "Show me how to create a Word document with a table"

Result: java code snippet displayed (no files created)

Workflow:

Step 1 — Suggest to add docio jars as references

The following jar files are required to be referenced in your Java application.
syncfusion®-docio
syncfusion®-javahelper
Get the dependent jar files by installing file formats controls. You can find the required jars in the build installed drive.
Location: {ProgramFilesFolder}\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\ {Platform}\ {version}\JarFiles
Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\FileFormats\18.3.0.35\JarFiles

Step 2 — Generate Code from Reference Files Only

Do NOT invent, guess, or suggest any API, method, class, or packages not explicitly present in the reference files.

Read the relevant
```
references/*.md
```
file(s) for the requested feature
Build java code strictly from the APIs and snippets found in those files
