# Word Document Skill

Create and edit .docx files programmatically.

## Setup

Install the python-docx library before starting:

```bash
pip install python-docx
```

## Creating a document

Use python-docx to build the document. Add headings, paragraphs, and tables
through the Document API, then save to disk.

```python
from docx import Document
doc = Document()
doc.add_heading("Title", level=1)
doc.add_paragraph("Body text goes here.")
doc.save("output.docx")
```

## Editing an existing document

Open the file with `Document(path)`, iterate `doc.paragraphs`, modify runs in
place, and save under a new name so the original is preserved.

## Output format

Always save the result as a .docx file and tell the user the absolute path.
