Teams that run their whole business in Odoo still leave it to draft real documents — proposals, SOPs, contracts, offer letters, meeting minutes, internal memos. Odoo core gives you html fields, the Knowledge app's article editor, and QWeb templates, but none of them is a genuine word processor: you cannot open a partner's record, write a formatted letter with headings, page breaks, tables, and a signature block, and hand back a clean .docx or a paginated PDF without leaving the system or pasting into an external editor. That copy-paste round-trip loses formatting, breaks the link to the source record, and scatters your document history across desktops and shared drives instead of keeping it inside Odoo's access model.

Word Editor closes that gap. We build a first-class rich-text authoring surface as an OWL component backed by a dedicated model (for example word.document) that stores the document body, template linkage, and a version history. The editor delivers real word-processor behaviour — styles and headings, ordered and bulleted lists, tables, images, page breaks, headers/footers, and mail-merge-style placeholders resolved from any Odoo record via the ORM. Export is the core promise: a .docx writer produces a valid Office Open XML package (not an HTML file with a .docx extension), and PDF export renders through Odoo's QWeb-to-PDF pipeline (wkhtmltopdf) so pagination, margins, and fonts are honest. Documents can be generated in bulk from an automated action or server action, attached back to the originating record as an ir.attachment, and served through the standard download controller.

Because it is a real Odoo module, everything respects the platform's conventions. Access is governed by ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so a user only sees documents they are entitled to; multi-company scoping is enforced with a company_id field and the corresponding rule. Templates are versioned, computed fields (@api.depends) keep derived metadata like word count or last-exported timestamp current, and every action is available over XML-RPC/JSON-RPC for your integrations. The module targets Odoo 17.0, 18.0, and 19.0, and we handle the Community-vs-Enterprise differences — the editor and DOCX/PDF export run on Community; where your instance is Enterprise we align with the Knowledge/Sign apps rather than duplicating them.

Delivery is build-to-order. After a short scoping call we confirm the exact document types, templates, placeholder sources, and export rules you need, then build against your target Odoo version on a staging instance, run UAT with you, and deploy with a rollback plan. Typical delivery is 2-4 weeks from confirmed scope, and you receive the installable source, a git repo handover, and a support window. Pricing starts from $249 (indicative, single-company base scope); multi-company rollout, additional bespoke templates, deep localization of exported documents, and integrations with e-signature or DMS systems increase the quoted scope.
