VORA WORD Guide (@voraword)

01. Getting started with VORA WORD

A document editor for reports, proposals, and meeting minutes, with control over paragraphs, tables, images, and page layout.

Download and install the app for your OS (macOS, Windows, or Linux) from VORA WORKS to edit documents and save locally without an internet connection. Check the download page for each product’s release and download availability.

Download apps for your OS · VORA WORKS

Sign up for the free VORA service

Start a blank document or open a file from the File menu. Starting from VORA chat can carry your request and selected references into an AI-enabled session.

02. Launch with @voraword or open the app directly

Open the standalone editor

03. Auto mode: background generation

Send @voraword with your topic or attachment and ask for background generation. This delegates creation and DOCX saving without walking through the editor.

Background results are saved on VORA’s AI Creations page. An acceptance notice is different from completion; open the saved file to review its content and layout.

04. Requests using topics, attachments, and conversation

1. @voraword : How competitive is Tesla in its industry? Write a two-page report with evidence and a comparison table. Generate it in the background.
2. @voraword : Use the attached facts and figures to prepare a summary, comparison, and next actions in the background.
3. @voraword : Use the comparison table and conclusion above to create an English deliverable in the background. Label unverified information.

05. Acceptance, completion, and AI Creations

06. Review after automatic generation

• Compare figures, names, dates, and sources with the originals.
• Check clipping, overlap, table wrapping, formulas, and fonts.
• Refine the result in the editor and save a final copy.

07. Standard and Smart documents

To use connected AI, sign up for the free VORA service and launch the tool’s web version from VORA chat. Open the returned editor link and check that the AI assistant is enabled. Offline editing in an installed app, standalone web editing, Smart mode inside the editor, and background Auto mode are distinct workflows.

Standard mode combines detailed ribbon and keyboard editing with the AI assistant. Smart mode focuses on AI generation and selected-content revisions, and also supports direct text edits. Switching to a normal editable copy retains the Smart original; changes to the copy are not automatically reflected in it.

1. Launch @voraword from VORA and choose a blank Smart document on Home. When using the Normal/Smart switch, save the current document first and review which content will be used for the new work.
2. Smart mode simplifies the ribbon so the document and AI assistant remain central. In a blank document, send the document type, audience, length, language, and required sections. For example: “Create a one-page service launch plan with goals, a four-week schedule table, and a review checklist.”
3. Follow request review, document generation, layout review/correction, and saving in the progress display and draft preview. A partial preview is not the final applied document. After completion, review tables, page breaks, and clipping.

08. Edit selected text and objects with AI

Text can also be edited directly in the current Smart mode. For formatting, tables, images, or structural changes, select the target text or object and ask the AI assistant. Check the target shown above the input, and specify what to preserve: “Shorten the selected explanation to two sentences; keep the table values.” Generating a document from an answer starts a document task and differs from editing part of the current document.

Select the sentence, table, or image to change and describe the edit in the AI panel. Include constraints such as keeping totals while shortening the explanation. Distinguish an explanatory reply from an applied document change.

09. Images and references

Add a picture from Insert or request imagery in the AI panel. When candidates appear, check their source and suitability before selecting one. Adjust size, crop, and placement, then inspect surrounding text.

10. Smart .voraw originals and exports

The Normal mode dialog offers an editable copy, a blank page, or a normal document generated from requirements. The editable copy is a separate document for ribbon editing; the Smart original is retained. Changes to the copy do not automatically update that original. Save the ongoing AI workspace as .voraw, separately from DOCX/PDF delivery copies.

Use .voraw as the Smart working original to retain the document and AI conversation. Check the save format when using Ctrl/Cmd+S or Save, and export DOCX or PDF copies for sharing.

11. Writing a useful request

State what to create, who it is for, and its format and length. Identify values, tables, or terminology to keep, the scope to change, and how to handle missing evidence.

@voraword : How competitive is Tesla in its industry? Write a two-page report with evidence and a comparison table.

Prepare references: upload to the AI Knowledge Base

12. Ribbon, action bar, and document canvas

• Home controls fonts, paragraphs, and styles; Insert adds tables, pictures, and equations; Layout controls paper and margins.
• Use the action bar below the ribbon for saving, undo, command search, AI, comments, and export.
• Check page information and zoom in the status bar. The moon/sun control changes the interface theme independently of document colors.

13. Document context, selection, and attachments

A whole-document summary and an edit to one paragraph have different scopes. Specify “only the selected paragraph” or “the heading structure throughout,” and whether attached figures must remain unchanged.

14. Insert an AI answer into the document

Check the content and insertion point before using an answer’s insertion controls. Choose the whole answer or a portion, then inspect tables, lists, and equations. Avoid inserting an already applied result twice.

15. Review, comments, and tracked changes

Use Review for comments and tracked changes, accepting or rejecting revisions. Compare AI edits with the source for figures, names, and meaning. Dark mode changes the interface, not the exported page background.

16. Tables, equations, and document structure

Insert tables and equations, then adjust rows, columns, merged cells, borders, and widths. Apply styles to headings and body text. For multipage tables, check header rows, row splitting, and clipped cells.

17. Pictures, charts, footnotes, and sources

Place pictures and charts near their explanation and add captions and sources. Use References for contents, footnotes, and citations. Distinguish a picture of a table or chart from an editable object with underlying data.

18. Templates, paper, margins, and pages

Choose a blank document or an available template from File → New, or open an existing DOCX. Set paper size, orientation, margins, sections, headers, and page numbering before drafting to reduce later layout work.

19. Save, export, and reopen

Use File → Save or Save As for a working copy. Choose DOCX, PDF, HWPX, or another appropriate export format and reopen the result. If the browser saves through a download, check the actual downloaded file.
