Why does this tool need a special server component?

Faithfully reproducing Word's layout, fonts, and formatting requires a real document engine rather than a lightweight library. This deployment uses LibreOffice in headless mode — see the README for setup details if you're self-hosting.

What if I get a 'not available' error?

It means the LibreOffice server component isn't installed in your current deployment (this is common on minimal/serverless hosts). The provided Docker image installs it automatically.
