Legal work is done in Word, and Casa Conect treats .docx as a first-class format. It reads and writes Word files with its own document engine, built for this purpose and not borrowed from a generic converter. It is strict about one rule: whenever something cannot be carried across exactly, you are told. Nothing is dropped silently.

​
Three ways to work with a Word file

Keep it as a Word file

The file stays a .docx in the vault. The agent edits it in place. Its changes are written into the file as native Word tracked changes, in a new version, and everything else in the file is preserved.

Open it in the editor

Import Word (.docx) converts it into an editor document for collaborative work, and Download as Word converts it back.

Work in Word itself

Open in Word and use the add-in. Saving sends new versions back to the vault.
For a document that will keep travelling between you and the other side as a Word file, keep it as a Word file. The agent’s in-place edits touch only the text they change, which is the most faithful route. Import into the editor when the document will live in Casa Conect.

What import preserves

​
What changes in translation

Every item below produces a plain-language notice when it applies to your file.

​
The second trip is always clean

A simplification can only happen once. When a document has been imported and exported, taking it round again produces no further changes and no notices. Casa Conect’s tests enforce this. Documents do not degrade a little more with every exchange.

​
What is refused outright

For security, some files are rejected with a clear message rather than opened:
  • Macro-enabled documents (.docm), and any file containing a VBA project
  • Files that are not valid Word documents, or that contain malformed or dangerous XML
  • Archive bombs: files that expand to an unreasonable size, or that contain an unreasonable number of parts

​
Fonts and page layout

Casa Conect renders Word files with its own layout service, so the pages you see match Word’s as closely as possible. Common fonts are matched with metric-compatible equivalents, so line and page breaks fall where Word puts them. For example, Calibri, Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New each have an equivalent with identical spacing. Microsoft’s Aptos is available in its genuine form. When a document uses a font that cannot be matched, the viewer names the font and warns that the layout is approximate. It does not quietly substitute a lookalike.
To make a document render in its own typefaces anywhere, save it from Word with File → Options → Save → Embed fonts in this file.

​
PDF

Export PDF produces a PDF whose pagination matches what you see in the editor and the viewer, including headers, footers and page numbers. PDFs are tagged for accessibility. PDF is an output format only. A PDF can be viewed, searched and read by the agent. It cannot be converted into an editable document.

​
Limits

​
Privacy

Import, export and PDF conversion run inside Casa Conect’s own infrastructure. Your document is not sent to an outside conversion service.
