Word JavaScript add-in APIs
summary
Office 2016 adds Word-specific JavaScript objects and a batching model so code manipulates Document -> Sections, Body and Selection; the demo inserts an OOXML template, adds paragraphs and styled content controls, replaces every customer instance, inserts images and files, and highlights currency with regex. It exposes document sections, headers and footers exposed because 90% of customizations target headers, supports content controls bound to data sources (SharePoint/Graph), and search returns ranges and supports regex; the sample and an OfficeatWork add-in run cross‑platform on Windows, iOS and Mac and work as shown.
