scitex-msword 0.1.1

MS Word (.docx) reader/writer with journal-style profiles (MDPI, IEEE, Springer, Elsevier, RESNA, IOP) — standalone module from the SciTeX ecosystem

scitex-msword

MS Word (.docx) reader/writer with journal-style profiles, extracted from the SciTeX ecosystem as a standalone package.

Install

pip install scitex-msword

Usage

import scitex_msword as sxm

# Word -> intermediate JSON-like document
doc = sxm.load_docx("input.docx", profile="generic")

# JSON-like document -> Word (apply a journal style)
sxm.save_docx(doc, "output.docx", profile="mdpi-ijerph")

# DOCX -> LaTeX (requires the umbrella `scitex` package for the .tex export step)
sxm.convert_docx_to_tex(
    "manuscript.docx", "manuscript.tex",
    profile="resna-2025", image_dir="figures",
)

Built-in profiles

generic, mdpi-ijerph, resna-2025, iop-double-anonymous, ieee, springer, elsevier. Register your own with sxm.register_profile.

Helpers

link_captions_to_images, link_captions_to_images_by_proximity, normalize_section_headings, validate_document, create_post_import_hook.

Status

Standalone fork of scitex.msword. Only runtime dep is python-docx. The umbrella scitex.msword import path is preserved via a sys.modules-alias bridge. convert_docx_to_tex lazily imports scitex.tex, so it works only when the umbrella package is also installed.
