Release Notes
Improved Formatting Support with Agentic Word
Agentic Word now supports advanced formatting controls that preserve the structure and styling of complex documents. You can create and edit formatted content, maintain indentation, and insert or edit footnotes directly within your document.
What’s New
Agentic Word now supports advanced formatting controls that align with the structure and styling of your existing documents.
New capabilities include:
- Creating and editing bulleted or numbered lists that match surrounding formatting
- Automatically preserving indentation levels within structured documents
- Applying inline text styling, including bold, italics, underline, and strikethrough
- Inserting and editing footnotes directly within the document
- Prompting Harvey to insert & edit comments
These improvements help generated and edited content integrate more cleanly into complex legal and professional documents.
Why It Matters
Legal documents often rely on precise formatting, structured lists, and citations to maintain readability and consistency.
With advanced formatting support, Agentic Word can now preserve more of your document’s existing structure automatically. This reduces the need for manual cleanup after generating or editing content and helps maintain consistency across highly formatted documents.
How to Use
Open Harvey for Word in a Microsoft Word document, and prompt Harvey as you normally would.
You can ask Harvey to rewrite content while keeping numbered list formatting, draft sections using the document’s existing heading styles, edit the text of existing footnotes, or add and reply to comments directly in the document.
Where supported, Harvey will preserve surrounding structure and styling automatically—including list hierarchy, indentation, paragraph styles, inline formatting, and line spacing—so updated content fits more cleanly into the rest of the document.
FAQs
Q: Can Agentic Word edit existing footnotes?
Yes. You can both edit existing footnotes and insert new footnotes directly within the document.
Q: Do I still need to manually format generated content?
In many cases, no. Agentic Word now preserves much more of your document’s existing structure and formatting automatically, though you can still make manual adjustments if needed.
