Build with Word as a platform: Word JavaScript APIs and key user scenarios
summary
Word JavaScript API 1.5 GA delivers concrete capabilities: Word API 1.5 GA, document-level insertFileFromBase64 that preserves styles, footnotes, watermarks and tracked changes, retrieveStylesFromBase64 to import and apply external styles, field operations for four types (TOC, date, hyperlink, table of contents), and six content control events (add, delete, enter, exit, dataChanged, selectionChanged). Script Lab demos run these APIs live. Partner integration with Icertis uses Azure Cognitive Services (over 60 Azure services) to extract clauses from a 20‑page contract, map them to content controls, compare/redline, and reinsert/upload successfully.
