## FAQ

### How does Adeu edit Word documents without losing formatting?

It translates the DOCX into a Markdown representation with CriticMarkup, validates edits, and converts them back into native Word Track Changes while preserving layouts and comments.

### Does Adeu send my documents to a server?

No, the core engine runs entirely on your machine and does not phone home, though your LLM provider will process the text the agent reads.

### How do I install Adeu as an MCP server?

You can run the Node server via npx or the Python server via uvx, and configure it in your MCP client's JSON settings.

### Can Adeu compare two DOCX files?

Yes, the diff_docx_files tool compares two files and can write the comparison out as a tracked-changes DOCX.

### Does Adeu support live editing of an open Word document?

On Windows with Microsoft Word installed, the Python MCP server backend can act as a real-time copilot editing the active document.
