GovEagle adds formatting awareness to the Word add-in
The GovEagle Word add-in now reads the formatting in your document and inserts real Word tables.
What changed
Proposal teams use formatting to carry meaning: bold for compliance language, color for reviewer notes, strikethrough for text on its way out. Now:
- GovEagle sees it. The add-in reads bold, italic, underlined, struck-through and colored text.
- You can ask about it. Try "List every sentence in red text" or "Are all the bolded shall statements addressed?"
- Real Word tables. When GovEagle suggests a table, it inserts a true Word table, not lines of pipe characters.
Who it helps
Proposal writers and reviewers working through color-team comments in Word, and anyone who has cleaned up a pasted table by hand.
How it works
- Open your document and the GovEagle add-in in Word.
- Ask a question that depends on formatting, or ask for a table.
- Apply the suggested edits, or turn on Auto-accept to have them inserted for you.

Where it fits
The Word add-in is part of GovEagle's proposal tools. For how it compares with other options, read the best Microsoft Word add-ins for government proposal writing.
What it doesn't do
- It reads text color, not highlighter shading. Ask about "text in red," not "highlighted in red."
- It doesn't decide what the formatting means. Tell GovEagle what your colors stand for.
