Hello, I am using Microsoft Word 2021.



Does Word have a format for YAML scripts?

If not, then is there a Word template that formats documents in YAML format? Or a macro that ensures the formatting is correct to import into a NoSQL document?

I am currently using Notepad++ to do this. It does support YAML. But I’d rather use Word if possible.

Thank you!


The format I'm seeking is this:

- a-serial: 11073
g-genre:
- Drama
- Romance
h-actors:
- Tom Hanks
- Meg Ryan
- Bill Pullman

- a-serial: 10995
g-genre:
- Drama
- Action
- Crime
h-actors:
- Al Pacino
- Robert De Niro
- Val Kilmer

- a-serial: 10007
g-genre:
- James Bond
- Action
- Spy
h-actors:
- Pierce Brosnan
- Sophie Marceau
- Robert Carlyle

Sorry for my ignorance. I have no clue what YAML nor NoSQL mean.


Word templates can have various formats, but they are not something that one applies to existing files to get that format.
