Quick answer

2. Prepare a reversible sample that represents the real input without exposing sensitive material.

4. Work on a representative copy, keeping default settings only when you understand what they mean.
5. Open the output in the target office app and compare the output with the sample you expected.
6. Save or copy the result only after the independent checks below pass.
