Check a generated DOCX before delivery

A document review needs both content and layout checks. Extracted text helps find missing sections, but it cannot show all pagination and table problems.

Work through these checks

1. Content

compare sections with the approved brief. Record the evidence or the unresolved question before moving on.

2. Facts

verify names, dates and claims against sources. Record the evidence or the unresolved question before moving on.

3. Structure

inspect heading styles and list hierarchy. Record the evidence or the unresolved question before moving on.

4. Layout

review page breaks, tables and image placement. Record the evidence or the unresolved question before moving on.

5. Handoff

confirm the final filename and editable format. Record the evidence or the unresolved question before moving on.

Put the checklist to work

Pay particular attention to a table that crosses a page and a heading near the bottom of a page.

Keep the checklist beside the task brief and the actual output. Mark a check complete only after inspecting the relevant file, setting or event. If a required check cannot run in the current environment, describe that gap and choose an appropriate next review rather than substituting a confident summary.

A boundary to remember

Opening successfully is not the same as meeting the intended layout or accessibility requirements.

For the corresponding controls and troubleshooting steps, read the desktop help guide. These checks are a practical review aid; adapt them to the specific source material and intended use of your deliverable.
