scitex_msword

MS Word (DOCX) import/export utilities for SciTeX.

This module provides high-level functions to convert between MS Word .docx files and SciTeX’s internal writer document model.

Strategy:

Word users write text only (paragraphs, minimal formatting)
SciTeX handles: figures, tables, references, LaTeX generation
SciTeX JSON is the “source of truth”, Word is just a view/edit layer

Typical usage:

from scitex_msword import load_docx, save_docx, list_profiles

# Import from Word doc = load_docx(“input.docx”, profile=”generic”)

# Manipulate via scitex.writer… # doc.normalize()

# Export to Word (different journal template) save_docx(doc, “output.docx”, profile=”mdpi-ijerph”)

Available profiles:

generic: Standard Word with Heading 1/2/3
mdpi-ijerph: MDPI IJERPH journal template
resna-2025: RESNA 2025 scientific paper template
iop-double-anonymous: IOP double-anonymous template
