Research workflows
Create scientific graphs and results tables in Word.
Textmolt is an AI research workspace in Microsoft Word. Its figure workflow helps you turn a CSV analysis into separate figures, captions and result tables, review how they match the analysis, and place them beside your research writing.
- Figure output
- Up to four separate figures per analysis
- Image export
- PNG · 300 DPI by default
- Table export
- Result tables as CSV
How the workflow works
-
Start from your analysis
Open Analysis and choose a UTF-8 CSV. Explain what your figures need to communicate. In advanced mode (Pro, including an active trial), review the proposed analysis and figure plan before confirming it.
-
Shape the presentation
Adjust titles, font size, single- or double-column layout, and colour. Apply appearance changes locally, or describe a more substantial revision for AI to make.
-
Check the figure against the result
Review axes, units, group names, sample sizes and captions. Compare statistical annotations and written claims with the reported method and results; resolve outstanding assumptions before using the output.
-
Insert or export
Insert one figure or all generated figures into Word, with their captions. Add available result tables and research text, or save images, tables and code for further review.
What you can bring into your paper
| Output | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Figures | One or several separate PNG figures, each with its own caption. |
| Word captions | Figure and table captions using Word's numbering fields where supported. |
| Result tables | Generated results inserted as three-line Word tables, or exported as CSV. |
| Methods and results | Available research text, kept separate from review notes. |
| Reproduction files | Python analysis code and its statistics module alongside the exported results. |
The workflow accepts UTF-8 CSV up to 2 MiB, 10,000 rows and 64 columns. Available outputs depend on the analysis and export checks. Review scientific accuracy and your journal's formatting requirements before submission.
Try the appearance options
The figure below is computed and drawn on this page from public sample data. Switch the palette and the column width to see one result presented differently. In Word, appearance changes like these are applied on your computer, without another AI request.
Table 1. Descriptive statistics by group.
| Group | n | Mean | SD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 10 | 5.03 | 0.58 |
| Treatment 1 | 10 | 4.66 | 0.79 |
| Treatment 2 | 10 | 5.53 | 0.44 |
Sample data: PlantGrowth (Dobson, 1983). Drawn and computed on this page as an illustration. It is not output from Textmolt; in Word, the analysis workflow builds figures from your own CSV.
A request to start from
Use the agreed analysis to prepare separate figures where needed. Keep group names and units consistent, write a caption for each figure, and include a table of the results used in the text.
Example request only, not an executed analysis or a demonstration result. The appropriate figures depend on your data and research question.
Revise the appearance without starting over
A local redraw creates a new version without another AI request. You can compare versions and undo an appearance change.
- Choose default, colour-blind-friendly or grayscale presentation.
- Use natural-language revisions when the change needs new analysis or plotting code.
Place figures beside the argument
Insert figures individually or together. Textmolt fits images to the available document width and inserts the corresponding captions.
- Word caption numbering supports figure and table references; check labels in your document.
- A changed figure can be updated in place during the same sidebar session when Word can still identify it.
Keep the evidence available
Exported images and result tables sit alongside code and available methods or results text. Review notes remain separate from material intended for the manuscript.
- Check that the graph, table, caption and written interpretation describe the same analysis.
- Built-in calculation records support checking; they do not independently verify every plotted value or sentence.
Questions about this workflow
Can I insert several figures together?
Yes. An analysis can produce up to four separate figures. Insert them individually or together; grouped insertion skips figures already inserted from that version in the current sidebar session.
Does updating a figure also rewrite the methods and tables?
No. An in-place figure update does not automatically replace methods paragraphs or result tables. Review those parts separately when the analysis changes.
What formats can I save?
Current exports include PNG figures and CSV result tables, with Python code and available text files. See Pricing on the home page for workflow access and AI usage costs.
