Overview

A basic class to deal with Word’s ridiculously awful handling of replacing text in paragraphs. Instead of simply setting the paragraph’s text to something new, you have to select all but the last character (which is a newline) then write. Otherwise, your paragraph might inherit the formatting of the line below it, which is especially a problem with tables.
