Issue No. 18
Less fiddling in Word
The Word doc you export now mirrors what you see in Parachute, so it's ready to send.
Exporting to Word used to mean a round of cleanup before the document was ready to send.
The Word file you download now mirrors what you’ve been looking at in Parachute, so you can spend less time in Word and more on the work that needs your judgement.
Here’s what the export now gets right:
- Numbering and bullets. Top-level and sub-clause numbering (1., 1.1) and bullet lists carry across.
- Headings. Heading levels, fonts, and colours export the way they’re styled.
- Tables. Table structure with content and basic formatting carries across.
- Tracked changes. Suggestions become native Word tracked changes, including whole-paragraph adds and removes.
- Comments. Come across on the same text you commented on in Parachute.
- Branding and letterhead. When you export with a template, headers, footers, margins, fonts, and numbering schemes all flow from it.
- Faster. A typical export now lands in around ~1-2 minutes, down from 5.
The Word export is still marked as ‘beta’ in the download menu while we keep refining formatting fidelity for complex documents. It’s safe for day-to-day use - the badge is there so you know to flag any formatting issues to support@goparachute.ai.
Note: the Word - express option has been removed. The standard Word export is now the one to use in every case.
