Without a tool, and with the tool

Without a tool

Without its code tool, ChatGPT gives you text to paste, and Word headings and tables get lost on the way. With the code tool it can write a .docx, and it can work from your template if you upload it in that chat.

With Docx

The DOCX server turns markdown into a .docx with real headings, lists and tables, writes a .docx from sections, fills {{placeholders}} in your own template and reads an existing .docx. The hosted server can't see files on your computer. It takes a file from a public link or a small upload (up to 2 MB). To try it in ChatGPT on the web, where your plan or workspace allows custom MCP servers, get a free token at mcp.zovo.one/mcp/connect and add mcp.zovo.one/mcp/docx/t/<token> as a server with No authentication. We haven't tested this in ChatGPT yet.

Common mistakes with this job

  • Pasting chat text into Word and fixing every heading by hand.
  • Placeholders that differ by one character, so they aren't filled.
  • Starting from blank when the company has a letterhead template.
