Simple Office
Note
Add-ons need a development build or a release newer than 4.12.1.
The Simple Office add-on (ID office) lets a chat make, read and edit Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files. It does not need a Sandbox. In the current development builds, it is in the development channel of the add-on library, so it can change.

The Sandbox add-on can make the same files with Python and gives full control of the layout. The two add-ons work on their own. See Sandbox: run Python on your files.
