Bowei Word Report Formatting

Chinese Word reports usually fail on subtle formatting and punctuation rather than spelling: half-width commas in Chinese sentences, ASCII straight quotes, first-level headings without black color and outline level, missing page breaks after cover and TOC, placeholder TOC page numbers, and table titles separated from tables. These issues are hard to spot visually but matter for professional delivery.

Problem

word排版 is aimed at consulting reports, research materials, and formal deliverables. It standardizes recurring Word checks by applying Bowei's V2.6 layout rules and the GB/T 15834—2011 punctuation standard, covering fonts, sizes, margins, heading hierarchy, page breaks, headers, footers, tables, and Chinese punctuation.

How It Works

The skill relies on python-docx and lxml to inspect .docx structure. Automatic formatting sets A4 page size, margins, Chinese body fonts such as FangSong and Times New Roman for Latin text, 1.5 line spacing, and first-line indentation. format_word.py enables safe Chinese punctuation fixes by default, replacing half-width punctuation in Chinese context with full-width forms while skipping URLs, email addresses, file paths, and version numbers.

Audit mode runs audit_word.py and produces a severity-ranked issue list, with focus on P1–P20 punctuation checks, heading color, outline level, page boundaries, and table binding. New-report mode expects full-width punctuation during drafting, then applies the layout rules and audits the result.

Limits

It is best for structured formatting and pre-delivery audits of formal Chinese reports, not visual design. Complex covers, image placement, and repeated table headers across pages still need manual adjustment. TOC page numbers require updating fields in Word, and ambiguous cases such as single em dashes or dots inside version numbers are left to human review. Client-specific requirements take precedence.
