Fixture findings

Following conversion of anchor_pdf2word_v1, XML inspection confirmed that all 4/4 headings, 3/3 body paragraphs, and the page-2 token were preserved as editable text runs, with the 4x4 financial table reconstructed as genuine Word table elements rather than rasterized images.

Both pages of body text and the footer token were preserved; the 4x4 table was flattened into plain paragraphs.
