What it fixes

Every Word repair, explained

fixmydocument reads the actual XML inside your .docx file — the same format Word uses internally — and corrects the specific problem, rather than just re-saving the file and hoping it goes away. Below is what's checked on every file, and why each one matters.

Remove a blank page at the end of a Word document

An empty final page is almost always leftover paragraph marks or a forced page break that Word won't let you select or delete from the ribbon. This scans the end of the document and removes them, without touching your actual content.

Accept all tracked changes in one pass

Turns every insertion into permanent text and removes every deletion, so a document that's been through rounds of review reads as clean, final copy — useful when you've inherited a file and don't need the edit history.

Remove comments and reviewer names

Deletes comment bubbles along with the reviewer names attached to them, so a document you're sending onward doesn't carry internal notes or who wrote them.

Clear hidden author and editor metadata

Word quietly stores who created and who last edited a file inside its properties, visible to anyone who checks. This blanks those fields out.

Remove "Restrict Editing" locks

Lifts an editing restriction applied from within Word — the kind that limits a document to comments-only or read-only. Doesn't touch genuine open-password encryption, which needs the password.

Fix broken hyperlinks

Finds links whose target reference no longer exists in the file — usually from copying content between documents — and unwraps them back to plain, readable text instead of a dead link.

Strip embedded macros

Removes any VBA macro project bundled inside the file, useful before sharing a document externally or through a mail system that flags macro-enabled files.

Remove unused style definitions

Clears out style definitions nothing in the document actually uses, which build up over years of copy-pasting between files and quietly bloat file size.

Strip embedded fonts

Removes fonts embedded directly in the file when they aren't needed for correct display, cutting file size on documents with heavy formatting.

Force a table of contents refresh

Flags a stale table of contents to recalculate automatically the next time the document is opened in Word.
