Etool Office

Word (.docx) text replace and image extraction, Excel format copying, Markdown to docx/HTML/Excel conversion, and Jupyter notebook merging or Markdown export via the etool CLI. Use when the user works with .docx, .xlsx, .md, or .ipynb files — replacing text, extracting images, converting Markdown, or merging notebooks.

File contents

Office documents with etool

Requires the etool CLI: pip install etool (verify with etool --json version).

Always pass --json: stdout is exactly one envelope, either {"ok": true, "data": {...}} or {"ok": false, "error": {"code", "message", "details"}}. If error.code is "DEPENDENCY_ERROR", run the pip command from error.details.install and retry once.

Word (.docx)

Replace text everywhere in a document (modifies a copy; the result path is in data.path):

etool --json docx replace --path report.docx --old "DRAFT" --new "FINAL"

Swap page width/height (portrait ↔ landscape):

etool --json docx swap-dimensions --input report.docx --output rotated.docx

Extract all embedded images:

etool --json docx extract-images --input report.docx --out-dir extracted_images

Excel (.xlsx)

Copy sheet formatting (column widths, styles) from a template workbook into a new file:

etool --json excel copy-format --source template.xlsx --output styled.xlsx

Markdown

Convert Markdown to Word / HTML, or extract all Markdown tables into an Excel workbook (one sheet per table):

etool --json md to-docx notes.md --out notes.docx
etool --json md to-html notes.md --out notes.html
etool --json md tables-to-xlsx notes.md --out tables.xlsx

Jupyter (.ipynb)

Merge every notebook in a directory into one, or convert a notebook to Markdown:

etool --json ipynb merge-dir ./notebooks
etool --json ipynb to-markdown analysis.ipynb --out-dir ./out
