WordCraft v0.13.2

WordCraft is a free, open-source word processor designed as an alternative to Microsoft Word. Developed by the ArtCraft team, it is written in Rust and aims to reproduce familiar Word workflows while providing native applications for desktop operating systems and a browser-based version.

The application goes beyond basic text editing. It includes document formatting, styles, tables, page layout, references, comments, tracked changes, mail merge, and PDF export. It can open and save DOCX files, making it a potential option for users who regularly exchange documents with Microsoft Office users.

WordCraft also includes command-line tools and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, allowing compatible AI agents to create, inspect, edit, and export documents programmatically.

Although its feature set is extensive, WordCraft is still approaching maturity for everyday writing. Users who rely on complex Word documents or specialized publishing workflows should test compatibility before making it their primary word processor.

Features

Document Editing and Formatting

WordCraft provides a familiar ribbon-style interface with formatting controls for fonts, sizes, bold and italic text, underlining, colors, highlighting, superscript, and subscript.

It supports paragraph alignment, indentation, line spacing, tabs, borders, shading, and other layout options. The Format Painter lets users copy formatting between document elements, while built-in styles help maintain consistent formatting across longer documents.

The editor also includes AutoCorrect, smart quotes, automatic list formatting, find and replace with regular expressions, and standard undo and redo functionality.

These features make WordCraft suitable for writing reports, letters, essays, and other everyday documents.

DOCX Compatibility and File Formats

WordCraft supports reading and writing Microsoft Word's DOCX format. It also supports importing and exporting ODT, RTF, HTML, Markdown, and plain-text documents.

PDF export produces selectable text and supports links and bookmarks, making it useful for distributing reports and other finished documents.

The ability to work with common document formats is one of WordCraft's main advantages. However, opening a DOCX file does not guarantee that every element will render identically to Microsoft Word. Complex layouts, embedded objects, and less common formatting features should be checked after import.

Styles, Themes, and Page Layout

WordCraft includes paragraph and character styles, style sets, themes, and a live style gallery. Users can create or modify styles to maintain consistent formatting throughout a document.

Page-layout controls include margins, page size, orientation, columns, section breaks, page breaks, headers, footers, page numbers, watermarks, and page borders.

The application also supports automatic hyphenation, line numbering, drop caps, and text wrapping around pictures and shapes.

These capabilities are useful for creating structured reports, academic papers, business documents, and longer publications.

Tables, Images, and Graphics

WordCraft supports tables with merged and split cells, borders, shading, banded styles, sorting, and formulas. Rows can split across pages, and table headers can repeat on subsequent pages.

Images can be inserted, resized, cropped, rotated, recolored, and adjusted for brightness, contrast, and transparency. Additional features include picture styles, shapes, and text boxes with floating positioning and text wrapping.

The editor also supports converting text into tables and tables into text, helping users restructure information without recreating content manually.

References and Academic Writing

WordCraft provides a collection of tools for structured and academic documents, including:

• Automatic tables of contents.

• Footnotes and endnotes.

• Citations and bibliographies in APA, MLA, Chicago, and IEEE styles.

• Captions and tables of figures.

• Cross-references and indexes.

• Tables of authorities.

These tools make WordCraft particularly interesting for students, researchers, and professionals who work with long documents containing references and supporting material.

Users preparing formal academic submissions should verify that the generated references and formatting comply with their institution's requirements.

Comments, Track Changes, and Proofreading

WordCraft includes comments displayed in document margins or a dedicated pane. Track Changes allows users to review edits and accept or reject individual changes.

Document comparison, spelling and grammar suggestions, a thesaurus, word counting, and an accessibility checker provide additional support for reviewing and refining documents.

The application also includes document inspection and editing restrictions.

These features are valuable for collaborative editing and document review, although teams should test their specific review workflows before replacing established Microsoft Word processes.

Mail Merge

WordCraft supports mail merge using CSV data sources and document fields. Users can insert merge fields, configure address blocks and greeting lines, preview personalized documents, and generate merged output.

Envelope and label tools are also included.

This can help automate repetitive administrative tasks such as generating letters, notices, certificates, and personalized business documents.

AI and Command-Line Automation

WordCraft is designed to support both manual editing and programmatic document manipulation. Its editing engine exposes commands that are shared across the graphical interface, keyboard shortcuts, command search, CLI, JSON control channel, and MCP server.

The command-line interface supports document conversion, text extraction, structural inspection, rendering, and scripted editing.

For example, convert a Word document to PDF:

wordcraft-cli convert report.docx report.pdf

Extract its text:

wordcraft-cli text report.docx

Inspect the document structure as JSON:

wordcraft-cli inspect report.docx

These capabilities make WordCraft useful for batch processing, document-generation pipelines, and AI-assisted workflows. Compatible agents can inspect documents and execute editing commands without relying exclusively on screenshots or mouse interaction.
