What is the best way to convert a legacy .doc file to a valid .docx format?▼

Converting legacy .doc files to .docx format requires LibreOffice-based document repair workflows. This Skill processes legacy documents, unpacks the OOXML structure, validates IDs, and repacks the content into a polished .docx file.

How do I create a Word document with tables, images, and headers from scratch?▼

Creating a Word document with tables, images, and headers requires generating valid OOXML structures from scratch. This Skill assembles document components including headings, tables, images, headers, and footers into a properly formatted .docx file.

Does this approach require LibreOffice and pandoc to handle document conversion?▼

Yes, handling document conversion and repair requires LibreOffice and pandoc as dependencies. These tools enable legacy .doc file conversion, document validation, and format transformation while maintaining structural integrity throughout the OOXML workflow.

Why does my Word document break after editing the XML structure manually?▼

Word documents break after manual XML editing due to invalid relationships, broken IDs, or whitespace corruption. This Skill prevents document damage by validating OOXML relationships, preserving whitespace, and applying LibreOffice-based repair workflows.
