The goal is to Read a .docx file with generic (built-in) styles and write a copy with custom styles preserving the original content (i.e., map one paragraph-level style to another).
Word comes with built-in styles like Normal, Heading 1, and List Bullet.
Custom style definitions are stored in the styles.xml part of a .docx file package, whereas built-in style definitions are stored in the Word application itself and are not written to styles.xml until they are actually used.
Let's take a document that utilizes built-in styles and:
[x] create custom styles,
[x] create a (to/from) style map, and
[x] create a new version of the original document, but with custom styles.
The challenge will be to preserve character styles (e.g., bold and italics), which are different from paragraph styles.
