Claude prompt to edit MS Office files

Attached is an existing [Word doc / Excel file /
PowerPoint deck] that I need to update.

What I need changed:
[Describe specifically - new section to add, sections
to remove, data to update, formatting to fix, structure
to reorganise, whatever]

What I need preserved:
- The overall format and styling
- Any branding or visual elements
- Section structure that's working
- [Anything else specific to your document]

What to do if something looks off:
If you spot inconsistencies or errors in the original,
flag them separately before fixing. Don't silently
"correct" things that might be intentional.

Return the edited version as a downloadable file in
the same format. Show me a summary of what you changed
so I can verify before sending.
