Overview

This module allows exporting from Mendix to Word (.docx) based on a JSON outline or placeholders in a Word template (such as {1}, {2}). It also supports exporting to PowerPoint (.pptx). You can provide Word and PowerPoint templates with your logo, styling, and other custom elements, which will be preserved. The module exports to modern document formats, is well-documented, and provides easy-to-use toolbox actions. Additionally, it can generate an interactive table of contents (TOC) with working hyperlinks.
