Office Tools, file reading and preview

These are the tools Haruno uses on the files you give it. One of them has a switch in the Connectors window. The other two are always on.

Office Tools

Office Tools lets Haruno create and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. Microsoft Office is not needed. The row is in the Built-in tools section and reads Read & edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files — no setup.

File	What Haruno can do
Word	Create a document from text, add to it, replace a section, find and replace text, fill a table, insert an image
Excel	Create a workbook, add sheets, write and update cells and ranges, add formulas, format cells
PowerPoint	Create a deck, add, move, copy and delete slides, add text, images and tables, replace text

The switch

Office Tools follows your Mac until you decide. It is on when Microsoft Office is installed and off when it is not. Flip the switch once, and Haruno never changes it again.

When the switch is off and Microsoft Office is not installed, the row says Microsoft Office not installed. That is only a note. You can still turn the switch on, because the tools do not need Microsoft Office.

Reading files and media

This is always on. There is no switch.

• Read Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, PDFs and text files, take a first look at a document, and search inside one.
• Make a PDF from text.
• Look at an image (JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF or WEBP) and answer a question about it.
• Turn speech in an audio file into text.

File preview

When Haruno wants to show you a document, it opens the preview panel beside the chat. This is always on. See Preview panel.

In a scheduled task

All of these work in a scheduled task. A task changes files only in the folder it is allowed to work in. See Scheduled tasks.

Who has it

Everyone, in the normal view and the advanced view.

What to tell a customer

Haruno can write Word, Excel and PowerPoint files itself. The customer does not need Microsoft Office. Haruno reads PDFs, images and audio too, with nothing to set up.
