Create a blank Office document.

officecli create <file> [--type <type>]

Creates a new blank Office document at the specified path. The document type is inferred from the file extension, or can be explicitly specified with --type. If the file has no extension but --type is provided, the appropriate extension is appended automatically.

The created document contains the minimal required structure:

• DOCX: Document with an empty body
• XLSX: Workbook with one sheet ("Sheet1") containing empty sheet data
• PPTX: Presentation with a slide master, theme, and 4 slide layouts

# Create a blank Word document
officecli create report.docx

# Create a blank Excel spreadsheet
officecli create data.xlsx

# Create a blank PowerPoint presentation
officecli create slides.pptx

# Create with explicit type (extension appended automatically)
officecli create report --type docx

• If the file is currently held by a resident process (via open), the command will fail. You must close the file first.
• The file will be overwritten if it already exists.
• Creating a .pptx outputs slideWidth and slideHeight in the console.

• open / close
