Government Word Format Standardizer

Word Format Standardize

Convert a user-uploaded .docx into the target format and return the converted .docx.

Workflow

1. Confirm the source file is a .docx.
2. Run scripts/convert_to_house_style.py with the input file and a target output path.
3. If the script exits with code 2, tell the user which fonts are missing and do not return a converted file.
4. If conversion succeeds, return the generated .docx.
5. Mention that complex layout documents should still be manually checked after conversion.

Command

python scripts/convert_to_house_style.py `
  --input "C:\path\to\input.docx" `
  --output "C:\path\to\output.docx"

Converter Guarantees

• Check required fonts before conversion.
• Apply page setup, theme, styles, font table, and section settings derived from the bundled template bundle.
• Normalize paragraphs into title, body, heading 1-4, attachment label, date/signature, and table text using deterministic heuristics.
• Return a hard failure instead of pretending conversion worked when critical fonts are missing.
