Introducing Paper Office
Summary
Paper Office is a suite of Python packages that extends python-docx, python-pptx, and OpenPyxl to enable agent-driven editing of Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files with safety and breadth. The post details feature-rich edits (tracked changes, content controls, cross-run text search) and reports on experimental results across five models and 61 tasks, showing Paper + skills beating upstream options and Anthropic's Office skills in most cases. It also discusses the need to fork and patch OOXML libraries for reliability, plus considerations around brownfield workflows and the importance of documentation and governance in internal tooling.
