Use a cloud PC to add report bookmarks and links

A commenter let an agent handle bookmark and cross-link cleanup in a Word report while they stepped away.

Done with Custom agentยท Intermediateยท Feb 2025

What they did
They gave agent mode control of a Microsoft 365 cloud PC and asked it to do repetitive Word formatting work. The agent added bookmarks to the report and created links between sections instead of having the person build them manually. They used the time to take a break while the document was being cleaned up.
How it went
The agent took care of the tedious report polish. No time estimate, error report, or review process was shared.
Tips
This kind of task works best when the document structure is already clear. Ask the agent to stop and confirm before making any change that would be hard to undo, like deleting content or submitting a final version.

Try it yourself with Claude computer use

Open [document name] in my [Microsoft 365 cloud PC / remote desktop] and help me clean up the report. Add bookmarks at each [section heading / other named spot], then create links from [table / summary / other location] to the matching bookmarks. If a heading, anchor, or link target is unclear, stop and ask before choosing. After the setup is complete, show me a list of every bookmark and link you added, and pause for my approval before you make any irreversible change, delete anything, or send/submit the file.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
