eliziff stops Word files quietly rewriting numbers
A small parsing fix protects visible document text when a Word file is opened, edited and saved.
eliziff has closed a subtle but consequential document-integrity gap. Text that merely looked like a number or a yes-or-no value could be treated as data rather than text, changing 12.10 to 12.1 when the document was saved.
That matters because the altered text did not need to be part of the requested edit. A tracked change elsewhere in the document could still cause an untouched passage to be rewritten. The update keeps visible Word text exactly as written while preserving the existing handling for document structure, tracked edits and spacing.
The team also added checks covering both extracted text and the saved document, so the same regression should be caught before it reaches users.
