Drawings carry an angle and horizontal/vertical flips on their placement (Float::rot, flip_h, flip_v), read and written as DrawingML a:xfrm rot, flipH and flipV for pictures, shapes, text boxes and groups; the written effect extent covers the rotated bounds and reading takes that overhang back out. Layout draws them turned about their centre (screen and PDF), square wrap and inline lines keep clear of the rotated bounds, and hit testing follows the turned shape. arrange.rotate now turns the frame (90 degrees, flips) instead of rewriting pixels; arrange.rotation sets an exact angle. The canvas frame has a rotation handle (Shift snaps to 15 degrees) and turned frames resize along their own axes; Picture Format and Shape Format get a Rotation box and a Rotate menu. Text inside a rotated text box stays upright for now. Groups turn and flip as a whole (wpg:grpSpPr a:xfrm): members keep their own turn inside the group's, are carried round its centre, and a group's text boxes move with it. Shape effects are drawn inside the turn; a shadow's direction follows DrawingML rotWithShape (kept on the model, true when absent; Word's presets write 0, so their shadows keep their page direction).

WordCraft roadmap: milestones and what's next
Last reviewed: 2026-10-10 · Last updated: 2026-10-10 · Change: minor (beta distance restated: ~15 points, ~150–230 h; previously: alpha gate checked: six core workflows pass; previously major: milestones moved here from ROADMAP.md; Current focus set from the re-measured gaps) · Target: Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365) for Mac 16.113.4
Forward-looking plan. The summary is ROADMAP.md; the ranked work list is
gaps.md; the numbers are in target-app-parity.md. Hours are
Opus 5.5 agent wall-clock.
Current focus (toward beta, ~150–230 h)
- Merge or close the ~45 open PRs before starting overlapping work: many close catalog gaps (Clipboard pane #264, Manage Styles #270, Group #267), fix field bugs (Hebrew RTL #20, IME fixes #155–#164) or add languages (de, nb, nn, he). Owner review needed.
- DOCX real-world corpus (gap #1, 30–50 h): collect openly licensed real-world .docx files, open/render/round-trip them, compare with Word locally, fix what breaks.
- Preserve what we can't render (gap #2, 10–15 h): charts, SmartArt, OLE, ink, group shapes survive a round trip and show their fallback pictures.
- Stability sweep (gap #3, 20–30 h): the open crash, hang and write-failure issues, plus an autosave/recovery soak test.
- Pagination fidelity (gap #4, 30–50 h): column balancing, footnote continuation, compat options, a local page-by-page comparison harness; an owner decision on an Aptos-metric font.
- Formatting revisions and content controls (gap #5, 12–18 h), native printing (gap #6, 6–10 h), dialog depth (gap #7, 20–30 h).
Alpha gate (core workflows)
The core-workflow gate from the craftrules progress-docs standard: what a typical Word user does every day, checked end to end on the main platform (macOS desktop), including save and reopen. "Partial" here means rough but not blocking: the workflow completes.
| Core workflow | Works end to end? | Evidence | Hours to pass |
|---|---|---|---|
| Write and format a document: type, fonts, paragraph formatting, styles, lists, undo, find/replace; save as .docx and reopen | yes | 422 commands, typing parity pinned by tests_typing.rs, DOCX round-trip tests (crates/docx/tests/roundtrip.rs) |
0 |
| Open a .docx someone sent, edit it, send back a .docx Word opens | partial (not blocking) | Word opens our files; typical text/table/picture documents work; never tested on a real-world corpus; charts, SmartArt and OLE dropped silently, formatting revisions lost (gaps #1, #2, #5) | 0 (beta work: 50–80) |
| Build a structured document: tables, pictures, headers/footers, page numbers, sections, columns | yes | Tables with row splitting and floating tables (#137), floating pictures (#136), first/odd/even headers; columns don't balance (gap #4) | 0 |
| Review with others: comments, track changes, accept/reject, compare | yes | Margin balloons, tracked insert/delete incl. paragraph marks (#125, #244), compare; formatting revisions missing (#41) | 0 |
| References for reports and papers: TOC, footnotes, citations and bibliography, captions | yes | Updatable TOC field (#52), notes, APA/MLA/Chicago/IEEE, Zotero (#189); long footnotes don't continue (gap #4) | 0 |
| Share or print: export PDF, print | partial (not blocking) | PDF export solid (krilla); desktop printing goes through a PDF, no native print dialog (gap #6) | 0 (beta work: 6–10) |
Result: passes. Every core workflow completes on macOS and the work saves and reopens; the partial rows are fidelity gaps (beta work), not broken workflows. WordCraft stays alpha.

| 2026-10-10 | minor | Current focus heading back to ~150–230 h to beta: full number restored to the additive weighted sum (~60%), method aligned with the standard, no new evidence |
| 2026-10-10 | minor | Alpha gate table added (core-workflow gate from the progress-docs standard): all six workflows pass, stage stays alpha |
| 2026-10-10 | major | Created: milestones moved from ROADMAP.md with remaining hours; Current focus from gaps.md; M15–M16 added |
