WordCraft roadmap
Stage: alpha · next: beta, ~15 points (60% → 75% ready for real work) and ~150–230 h away
Last reviewed: 2026-10-10 · Last updated: 2026-10-11 · Change: trivial (Show revisions in balloons draws deletion balloons; previously trivial: Turkish interface landed; previously trivial: formatting revisions landed, #41; previously trivial: Draw tab ink, #307, and Draw Table and Eraser, #303, landed: catalog 402/434; previously minor: readiness table with hours per audience; full number back to the additive weighted sum, 60%; mainstream and essentials numbers added; alpha gate checked; previously major: full re-measure against Word for Mac 16.113.4; restructured to the craftrules progress-docs standard) · Target: Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365) for Mac 16.113.4
WordCraft aims for complete parity with Microsoft Word, then goes further on speed, openness and
agent control. This page is the summary; the assessment is
docs/target-app-parity.md, the work list is
docs/gaps.md, and milestones and the current focus are in
docs/roadmap.md.
Headline numbers (2026-10-10)
| Number | Value | Kind |
|---|---|---|
| Ribbon/menu catalog coverage | 482 / 497 (97.0%) | measured (cargo xtask parity → docs/parity-checklist.md) |
| Feature breadth (weighted, incl. dialog options, styles, languages beyond the ribbon) | ~80% | estimated |
| Ready for real work (full target) | ~60% (55–63%) | estimated, additive weighted sum over the dimensions |
| Mainstream practitioner | ~55% | estimated: weekly-work depth × discounts for interaction (×0.93), stability (×0.90), file exchange (×0.90) |
| Essentials user | ~63% | estimated: core-feature depth × discounts for launch (×0.90), discoverability (×0.95), opening received files (×0.92) |
| Remaining to beta | ~150–230 h of Opus 5.5 agent wall-clock (gaps #1–#7) | estimated |
| Remaining to full parity with Word desktop | ~750–1,250 h (70–80% parallelizable) | estimated |
| Commands / tests / code | 433 commands · 855 tests + 10 property blocks · ~88,700 lines of Rust | measured (source) |
| Releases | v0.4.0 (2026-10-10): signed macOS universal DMG, Windows MSI x64/x86/arm64, Linux AppImage/deb/rpm/Flatpak x86_64 + aarch64, FreeBSD, web | measured |
Hours are calibrated from this repo's PRs (equations #191: ~9.7k lines in ~5 h; .doc reader
#145: ~4.5k lines in ~10 h; layout fidelity PRs run 5–10× slower per line). The earlier "≈120–150 h
to 100%" (2026-10-06) left out localization, multilingual proofing, ecosystem, hardware, PDF Reflow
and .doc writing, and priced the DOCX corpus at 10 h; see
methodology. The three readiness numbers, their weights,
discounts and the user evidence (120 issues from outside users, 4 praise, 0 "switched from Word",
~21 open core-path bugs) are in
readiness numbers.
| Audience | Ready | Opus 5.5 agent wall-clock hours to ~95% | Work that dominates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full target (ready for real work) | ~60% | ~650–1,100 h (70–80% parallelizes) | Breadth: charts/SmartArt/Draw, localization and proofing languages, East Asian and RTL typography, .doc writing, PDF Reflow, ecosystem; plus everything below |
| Mainstream practitioner | ~55% | ~300–500 h (~65% parallelizes) | DOCX real-world fidelity and preserving charts/SmartArt, pagination fidelity, formatting revisions, dialog depth, objects, stability |
| Essentials user | ~63% | ~90–140 h (~50% parallelizes) | Install/launch stability, opening files people send (corpus subset, chart fallbacks), native printing, picture handling, English spelling depth |
Why alpha: the core workflows (write, format, styles, lists, tables, references, review, mail
merge, open and save .docx) work end to end and ship as signed builds on every desktop platform
and the web. Why not beta: DOCX has never been tested on real-world files; charts, SmartArt and
OLE objects are dropped silently; pagination differs from Word (no Aptos-metric font, no column
balancing or footnote continuation); content controls are lost; there is open field evidence of
a startup crash and several hangs; no native printing. Gaps #1–#7 in docs/gaps.md
are the beta list. All six core workflows pass the
alpha gate end to end on macOS, with save and reopen;
the two partial ones (real-world .docx, printing) complete, roughly.

Upcoming
Ranked, to beta (detail and remaining milestones in docs/roadmap.md):
- Review and merge the ~45 open PRs that already close gaps (owner).
- DOCX real-world corpus: open, render, round-trip, compare with Word (30–50 h).
- Preserve charts, SmartArt, OLE and ink through a round trip with fallback pictures (10–15 h).
- Stability sweep of the open crash, hang and write-failure issues; autosave soak test (20–30 h).
- Pagination fidelity: column balancing, footnote continuation, compat options, comparison harness; an Aptos-metric font decision (30–50 h + owner).
- Formatting revisions and content controls (12–18 h); native printing (6–10 h); dialog depth (20–30 h).
Progress log
| Date | What landed |
| 2026-10-11 | Hide White Space (#645): view.hideWhiteSpace (View › Show checkbox, or double-click the gap between pages) collapses margins, headers and footers between pages to a thin line in Print Layout; screen only, page count unchanged |
| 2026-10-11 | Fonts: Palatino Linotype and Book Antiqua fall back to Palatino (macOS) or TeX Gyre Pagella / P052 / URW Palladio (Linux) before generic serif (#670) |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-11 | Review › Track Changes Options › Show revisions in balloons: tracked deletions in the body leave the text for "Deleted: …" balloons in the margin, joined to where they were (the option was saved but drew nothing new before) |
| 2026-10-11 | Security review fixes: ui.render/ui.screenshot without a path (and the MCP bridge's render_page/screenshot) return the PNG in the reply instead of writing a fixed name into the shared temporary folder; exported HTML/Markdown write href only for web, mail, bookmark and relative links, never javascript: and other schemes (one allow-list in wordcraft_doc::link) |
| 2026-10-11 | Design tab: the style set gallery gets a box and gaps of its own, so it no longer runs into Colors and Fonts (#638) |
| 2026-10-11 | File › Print: page preview, page range (all, current, selected, custom 1-3,5), odd/even, copies and collate go into the printed PDF (file.printPdf, ui.print params); printer, duplex and pages per sheet are still the system dialog's (#641, stage 1) |
| 2026-10-11 | A vertically merged table cell (eraser on a horizontal border) lays out, shows and clicks as one cell spanning its rows (#640) |
| 2026-10-11 | Word XML files (#548): Word XML Document (Flat OPC .xml) opens and saves through the DOCX reader and writer; Word 2003 XML opens (styles, lists, tables, sections, notes, comments, pictures, hyperlinks) |
| 2026-10-11 | Font fallback indexes which characters each installed font maps, reading each font file once (#605): text in a script no installed font covers no longer re-reads every system font per distinct character (200 such characters: 13 s → 0.2 s) |
| 2026-10-11 | Find and Replace special characters (^p, ^t, ^#, ^& …) and Use wildcards (ranges, counts, word anchors, groups with \1 in Replace); ^p finds and splits paragraphs; Special ▾ menu and search options in the dialog (#543) |
| 2026-10-11 | Typing parity (#546): +---+ Enter makes a table, > -> => arrow bullets, smileys inside words (ok:)), Undo right after a border line brings the characters back |
| 2026-10-11 | Windows: DirectX 12 shaders compile with FXC, built into Windows, so the app no longer quits at launch with "Parent device is lost" when no matching dxcompiler.dll + dxil.dll pair is around (#603) |
| 2026-10-11 | Insert › SmartArt (#497): list, process, cycle, hierarchy, pyramid, radial, matrix and Venn graphics laid out by our own code, Text Pane, SmartArt Design tab (Add Shape, Promote, Demote, layouts, colours, Reset); saved as DOCX diagram parts with the drawing. Catalog 410/441 (93.0%) |
| 2026-10-11 | Outline view (#493): Outlining tab, outline symbols and indents, collapse/expand, Show Level, first line only, plain text; catalog 428/450 → 441/463 (95.2%) |
| 2026-10-11 | Vertical sections (#491): Layout › Text Direction turns the section (or the cell or text box the caret is in); lines run top to bottom, right to left, ideographs upright; w:textDirection in w:sectPr read and written |
| 2026-10-11 | File › Options in Word's panes (#485): General, Display, Proofing, Save, Language, Accessibility, Advanced, Agents; initials, individual formatting marks, spelling ignore options, custom dictionary, overtype, typing replaces selection, measurement units, recent-documents count, print options; file.options reads and sets them headlessly |
| 2026-10-11 | Right-click Wrap Text submenu on pictures, shapes and text boxes: wrapping styles, Move with Text / Fix Position on Page (#513) |
| 2026-10-11 | Paragraph dialog options (#512): mirror indents (w:mirrorIndents, laid out on even pages), same-style spacing, suppress line numbers, don't hyphenate |
| 2026-10-11 | Screen readers can read the document canvas (#488): paragraphs, headings, lists, tables, links, pictures and the caret exposed through AccessKit |
| 2026-10-11 | Add fonts without rebuilding (#582): Home › Font › Add Font… (end of the font list), dropping a TTF/OTF/TTC/WOFF/WOFF2 file, or font.add/font.list/font.remove for agents. Files are checked (50 MB cap, every face must parse and map characters), never replace a bundled or loaded face, and are kept between runs (desktop: fonts in the settings folder; web: IndexedDB). Linking a font by URL is still to come |
| 2026-10-11 | Print Markup (#589): File › Print/Export checkbox, file.printMarkup, markup on save/export commands and wordcraft-cli convert --markup print comments (with replies) in balloons beside each page, scaled to the paper like Word's "Document showing markup"; HTML, Markdown and text copies end with the comments |
| 2026-10-11 | Custom colours (#606): every colour drop-down gains Recent Colors and More Colors…, which opens a Colors dialog with a Standard honeycomb and a Custom hue/saturation field, lightness slider, RGB/HSL numbers and a hex box |
| 2026-10-11 | Complex scripts (#604): Myanmar, Khmer and Indic text shaped one script at a time in OpenType fallback fonts (regular weight, not AAT-only fonts), the caret and line breaks never split a syllable, Myanmar wraps between syllables, Backspace removes one sign at a time |
| 2026-10-11 | Any text file opens (#569): .m3u/.m3u8 playlists and other unknown extensions open as plain text with encoding detection (UTF-8, BOMs, UTF-16, Windows-1252), misnamed Word/RTF files by their signature; binary files give a clear error |
| 2026-10-11 | Select by dragging whole units (#549): after a double-click the drag grows by words, after a triple-click by paragraphs, after Ctrl/⌘+click by sentences, as in Word |
| 2026-10-11 | Compare / Combine dialog with comparison settings, Restrict Editing pane (exceptions, SHA-512 password, locked styles; DOCX round trip), AutoCorrect Options dialog saved per user (#412) |
| 2026-10-11 | DOCX diagrams (#611): lines, connectors and boxes styled by the theme now show (they were invisible); callouts and flowchart boxes drawn as the nearest shape; VML lines, rectangles and ovals |
| 2026-10-11 | WordArt (#416): text fill/outline/shadow/glow/reflection, Transform warps, our own styles; straight/elbow/curved connectors glued to shapes that re-route; DOCX round trip |
| 2026-10-11 | Content controls (w:sdt) kept, shown and edited; Developer tab, Design Mode, Properties dialog (#381) |
| 2026-10-11 | Insert › Chart (#409): column, bar, line, area, pie, doughnut and scatter charts with Chart Design (type, Edit Data, title, legend, data labels), saved as real chart parts; catalog 408/439 (92.9%) |
| 2026-10-11 | Line Numbers, Hyphenation (zone, CAPS, consecutive limit, Manual), Language, Envelopes and Labels dialogs (#407); hyphenation options kept in DOCX; 30 modal dialogs |
| 2026-10-11 | Accessibility (#386): Alt Text pane for every object and table, Mark as decorative, alt text round-trips in DOCX, deeper checker with fix actions |
| 2026-10-11 | References dialogs (#402): Caption (labels, chapter numbering), Index and Mark Entry, Custom Table of Contents, Source Manager and Create/Edit Source, with TOC/INDEX/XE/SEQ switches honoured on update |
| 2026-10-11 | Font dialog: separate Asian text font and Latin text font (#505); format.font {"eastAsia"}; East Asian fonts found by the font scan (OS/2 code pages) |
| 2026-10-11 | Document grid (#391): Page Setup › Document Grid sets lines per page and characters per line (w:docGrid round trip); lines snap to the line pitch, East Asian characters to the character pitch; View › Gridlines shows it |
| 2026-10-11 | Move tracking (#400): w:moveFrom/w:moveTo and their named ranges kept in DOCX, a tracked cut and paste of a paragraph or sentence records a move, accept/reject at either end resolves both, green double strikethrough/underline and "Moved from/to" balloons |
| 2026-10-11 | Footnote and Endnote dialog from the References › Footnotes launcher: options per section or document (below text, end of section, number format, start at, restart each section or page), custom marks, convert footnotes ↔ endnotes; kept in DOCX (#385) |
| 2026-10-11 | Shape Format › Text: text direction, Align Text and linked text boxes (Create Link / Break Link), read and written in DOCX (#369) |
| 2026-10-11 | Mail-merge recipients from Excel (.xlsx/.xlsm) and OpenDocument (.ods) spreadsheets, with Select Table to pick the sheet (#334) |
| 2026-10-11 | Insert › Icons (#309): a library of 61 original icons drawn in code, a searchable picker and Icon Color |
| 2026-10-11 | Home › Font › Enclose Characters (#297): circle, square, triangle or diamond around a character, saved as Word's EQ \o\ac field |
| 2026-10-11 | Phonetic Guide (#288): ruby text over base text, w:ruby round trip |
| 2026-10-11 | Customize Ribbon and the Quick Access Toolbar: custom tabs and groups, hide and reorder tabs, add or remove toolbar commands (right-click any button, or the toolbar's … menu); kept between runs (#379, #376) |
| 2026-10-11 | Customize Keyboard: assign, remove and reset keyboard shortcuts; custom keys override built-ins and are kept between runs (#368) |
| 2026-10-11 | Field codes like Word's field keys (#339): show codes (Alt+F9, Shift+F9), edit, unlink, lock and step through fields |
| 2026-10-11 | Word's common keyboard shortcuts (#330): 101 → 125 of ~250 |
| 2026-10-11 | Turkish (tr) interface: all 1,307 catalog entries, tr-TR/tr-CY system locales and a saved language choice; command search keeps Turkish dotted and dotless I apart (italik finds İtalik); locale, catalog, search and bundled-font tests; no Turkish proofing resources |
| 2026-10-11 | Citations and bibliography in all 12 of Word's styles: Harvard, ISO 690 (author-date and numerical), Turabian, GB/T 7714, GOST (name and title sort) and SIST02 join APA, MLA, Chicago and IEEE; numbered styles count in order of first citation (#383) |
| 2026-10-11 | Interface size setting (#475): File › Options › General scales the interface 80–200 % on top of the system display scale, kept between runs; ui.interfaceSize for agents |
| 2026-10-11 | DOCX paragraph defaults: preserve omission separately from explicit empty defaults, with repeated-save and default-edit regressions |

| 2026-10-11 | Draw: Lasso Select (move, recolour, delete the strokes inside a loop), Add Pen gallery kept between runs, Ink to Shape (own recogniser: line, rectangle/square, ellipse/circle, triangle, polygon), Ink Replay in drawing order with play/pause/rewind/forward; drawing order kept in DOCX (#395); catalog 406/434 (93.5%) |
| 2026-10-10 | Estonian (et) interface (#294): 1,161 translated entries, locale and saved-preference tests, bundled-font checks; no Estonian proofing resources |
| 2026-10-10 | Draw tab: pen, pencil and highlighter ink, stroke eraser, Select, Review › Hide Ink; ink saved to DOCX as DrawingML freeforms (#307); catalog 399/431 (92.6%) |
| 2026-10-10 | Draw Table and Eraser (#303): a pen draws one-cell tables and splits cells along drawn lines; the eraser merges the cells beside a border. Catalog 393/431 (91.2%) |
| 2026-10-10 | DOCX charts, SmartArt and OLE objects survive open and save with their parts (#319) |
| 2026-10-10 | Full re-measure against Word for Mac 16.113.4 and progress docs to the craftrules standard (this page, docs/target-app-parity.md, gaps.md, roadmap.md, architecture.md, format/layout/UI/hardware/localization parity; docs/parity.md → docs/parity-checklist.md).
