- **Familiar.** Ribbon tabs, groups, shortcuts and behaviour: Enter continues a list,
Tab demotes it, Ctrl/⌘+B bolds the word under the caret, the Styles gallery previews styles live,
F4 repeats, F7 checks spelling, F8 extends the selection.
- **Your files.** Opens and saves .docx (OOXML), and also .odt, .rtf, .html, .md, .tex (LaTeX), .txt; opens Word 97-2003 .doc; exports PDF

1.4 ms; pages render on demand.

## Roadmap
WordCraft is in **alpha**. It covers 88% of Word's ribbon features with commands today; counting
depth, file fidelity, stability and the rest, we estimate it is about 60% of the way to replacing
all of Word for real work, about 55% for a typical professional's weekly work and about 63% for
everyday essentials. Beta needs testing against real-world .docx files, keeping charts and SmartArt
through a round trip, pagination closer to Word's, a stability sweep and native printing. Details
and estimates: [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md) and [where we fall short](docs/gaps.md).
