Word Report Formatting

Overview

Use this skill to format formal Chinese Word reports consistently with Allen's preferred standard. It complements the general DOCX/document skill: use the document tooling for implementation and rendering, and use this skill for the required typography, formula, table, figure, reference/citation, and appendix-code rules.

Required Workflow

1. Read references/formatting-standard.md before creating or substantially editing a Word report.
2. Apply the standard unless the user, school template, or provided rubric explicitly overrides it.
3. Preserve existing document content and structure during edit tasks; make only the local formatting changes needed.
4. For formulas, inspect the actual OMML/Word equation formatting rather than judging from plain text extraction.
5. For paper-style citations, read references/citation-crossrefs-ooxml.md and convert body citations such as [1], [1][2], [1,2], or [1-3] into superscript Word cross-references to the matching bibliography entries.
6. Before delivery, run a formatting audit against the checklist in references/formatting-standard.md.
7. When possible, render/export the DOCX to PDF or page images and inspect pages for overlap, clipping, table overflow, font substitution, broken cross-references, and appendix code readability.

Core Rules

• Body text: Chinese in Songti/SimSun, English and numbers in Times New Roman, default small-four/12 pt.
• Body color: keep body text, headings, captions, tables, formulas, abstract, keywords, and references black unless the user explicitly requests otherwise. Appendix code comments are the standard red exception.
• Abstract and keywords: left aligned with no first-line indent.
• Headings: real Word heading styles with outline levels, left aligned rather than centered. Level-1 Chinese headings such as 一、 / 二、 / 三、 must have one blank line of visual space before them when not at the top of a page.
• Tables: default to white three-line tables, with no fill, no vertical lines, and no full grid. Normalize existing tables that do not meet the standard.
• Formulas: use native Word OMML equations. Variables are italic; digits, operators, units, function names, constants, explanatory text, and explanatory subscripts are upright.
• Figures: keep plot titles out of the image when a Word caption is present; use consistent figure numbering and centered figure/table captions.
• Citations: make body references superscript and field-backed, not merely static superscript text. Use ASCII square brackets [ and ], not Chinese/full-width brackets.
• Appendix code: put code after main text and tables; color code comments red, preferably C00000.

Must-Fix Audit

Fail the formatting pass and revise if any of these remain:

• Headings are centered when the standard says they should be left aligned.
• Abstract or keywords are indented or centered.
• Body text, headings, captions, table text, or reference text contain unintended non-black color.
• Figure names or table names are not centered.
• Level-1 Chinese headings do not have a blank-line visual gap before them when they follow body text.
• Existing tables, formulas, variables, units, or symbols still violate the standard.
• Body citations are only static superscript text instead of Word REF fields/bookmark cross-references, unless the user explicitly allows visual-only citations.

Conflict Handling

If older project memory says "formulas should not be italic", treat that as superseded for formal report formulas. The current rule is: variables italic, non-variables upright, following the provided teacher screenshot/specification.
