LM Studio Plugin - Export to Word Docx

This plugin allows LM Studio models to export chat conversations into formatting-rich Word (.docx) documents, support structured tables, and append new content to existing files.

The Story & Architecture

Initially, this plugin was designed to use the heavy docx library. However, due to node environment warnings (like --localstorage-file) and rigid file-creation limits, the library was completely removed. (after rev.10) Instead of generating a document from scratch, this plugin uses a lightweight, ultra-stable boilerplate approach: it takes a ready-made document template (empty_template.json, which is a renamed valid .docx file) and performs lightning-fast XML injections directly into the archive using adm-zip.

Key Features

• Full Chat Export: Exports conversations including Roles (User, Assistant, System), text content, and timestamps.
• Native Table Formatting: Automatically parses Markdown tables into proper Microsoft Word table grids with clean borders.
• Incremental Appending: Supports adding new paragraphs and headers to an already existing document without rewriting the whole file.
• Rich Typography: Full support for standard Markdown formatting (# headers, **bold**, __bold__, etc.).
• High Compatibility: Generated documents open flawlessly in Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs.

Installation & Deployment

Alternatively, you can fetch the plugin directly via the LM Studio CLI once published:
