Feature Request: Codex for Microsoft Word Add-in (macOS & Windows)

As many of us use Codex for coding and productivity, it would be incredibly valuable to have an official Microsoft Word add-in powered by Codex. Use cases: • Rewrite and improve academic/professional documents • Fix formatting, headings, references, tables, TOC • Generate reports directly inside Word • Continue drafts from notes/prompts • Convert rough content into polished documents • Resume/CV optimization • Thesis/dissertation assistance with structure and editing Why this matters: Many users work daily in Microsoft Word, not only in browsers or code editors. Having Codex directly inside Word would save time, reduce copy-paste workflow, and bring AI productivity into real document environments. Ideal features: • Sidebar chat assistant • Selected text rewrite/improve • Full document formatting assistant • Table/chart generation • Citation/reference cleanup • Template generation • Secure local file handling Codex in IDEs is great — Codex in Word would unlock a massive professional and student audience too. Would love to see an official OpenAI Word Add-in.
