Python Expert - Automate Footnote MS Word Documents (OpenXML)

详细信息

I need a Python developer to create a script that converts unreferenced citations in academic documents into native Word footnotes (using python-docx). Sample test documents (before/after) are attached to this project.Attached Samples:1. INPUT_SAMPLE.docx - Contains:• Body text with citations like [1] or (Smith et al. 2023)• Unlinked reference section at end2. OUTPUT_TARGET.docx - Shows required final formatTechnical Requirements:1. Use native Word footnotes via python-docx (no simulated text/fields)2. Handle these citation formats:plaintextCopyDownloadSingle: [3] Multi: [1,3] Range: [5-7] Author-date: (Johnson, 2020) 3. Preserve all formatting (fonts, styles, paragraph spacing)4. Remove original reference section after processing5. Generate validation report:plaintextCopyDownloadProcessed: 247 citations Successful: 240 | Failed: 7 (with location context) Critical Functionality (Tested on samples):• Right-clicking footnote number → "Go to Footnote" works• Word Online displays footnotes correctly • New footnote is automatically numbered incrementally• No document corruption after processingDeliverables:1. Fully functional Python script (.py)
