The section reader builds a range from startPara and calls expandTo, but then it reads HTML from the original range object instead of the expanded one. In Word JS, expandTo returns a new range, so this currently returns only the first paragraph/heading rather than the whole section, which breaks the core behavior of get_document_section for multi-paragraph sections.

This tool never writes to slide notes: after validating the index, it immediately returns a message telling the user to edit notes manually. That makes set_slide_notes a no-op even on successful calls, so callers will believe notes were updated when no presentation state changed.

When targetIndex is provided, the code enters a branch that only reloads slides and leaves a TODO comment, but never repositions the new slide. The response still reports the duplicate at targetIndex + 1, so callers get incorrect placement and misleading success output whenever a non-default target is requested.

The duplication logic recreates only text boxes (addTextBox) from shapes that expose text and drops everything else (images, charts, tables, lines, formatting/layout metadata). For typical slides this produces a materially incomplete duplicate while the tool advertises full duplication, so users can lose most slide content.

New Excel tools: - get_workbook_overview: structural scan with sheets, used ranges, named ranges, charts - find_and_replace_cells: search/replace text in cells with case/whole-cell options - insert_chart: create charts (column, bar, line, pie, area, scatter, doughnut) - apply_cell_formatting: format cells (bold, colors, borders, number format, alignment) - create_named_range: define named ranges for easier reference Total new tools: 5 Excel + 10 Word/PowerPoint = 15 new tools
