# Writing and editing

- [Working with Word documents](https://docs.papers.ai/writing-and-editing/working-with-word-documents.md): Open a .docx file into a paginated, Word-style editor with comments, citations, and track changes.
- [Working with Markdown and MyST](https://docs.papers.ai/writing-and-editing/working-with-markdown-and-myst.md): Markdown and MyST are lightweight markup formats with a Visual mode for word-processor-style editing, alongside raw Code mode.
- [Working with LaTeX and Typst](https://docs.papers.ai/writing-and-editing/working-with-latex-and-typst.md): LaTeX and Typst are source-based formats that compile to a PDF preview, with citation support and standard figure syntax.
- [Editing modes](https://docs.papers.ai/writing-and-editing/editing-modes.md): Switch between raw source and a word-processor-style view for supported formats. Papers AI remembers which mode you last used per file.
- [Compiling and fixing errors](https://docs.papers.ai/writing-and-editing/compiling-and-fixing-errors.md): Compile LaTeX and Typst to a PDF preview, get the same diagnostics for MyST's live preview, and use the Problems panel to fix errors.
- [Inserting images and figures](https://docs.papers.ai/writing-and-editing/inserting-images-and-figures.md): Add image files to your project and reference them from a Word document, LaTeX, Typst, or Markdown file.
- [Version history](https://docs.papers.ai/writing-and-editing/version-history.md): Label, preview, and restore earlier versions of a file.
