## Word and Excel support

You can now upload Word and Excel documents into Briefcase! We will do the PDF conversion and process them automatically.

## How it works

1.  Upload Word/Excel document
2.  Briefcase converts it to PDF
3.  PDF is then processed (extraction, categorisation, VAT compliance, etc.)
4.  In your dashboard you will see the PDF document alongside extracted data

This works across all upload methods — web, email or WhatsApp.
