In many Korean offices, internal reports are written in a clipped bullet style called gaejosik: one point per line, short noun-like endings, no connecting sentences. Converting a paragraph-style draft into that format by hand means deleting sentence endings, breaking lines and re-reading every number. It takes longer than it should.
TL;DR: Paste the report into ChatGPT, put one instruction line above it, then copy the answer into Word.
Steps
- Paste the full report into the ChatGPT input box.
- Add one line at the very top. The one I used was (translated): Rewrite the report below as bullet points. Conditions: one line per item, end each line with a short noun-style ending, keep every number exactly as it is.
- Press Enter, then use the copy button under the answer.
- Paste into Word.
The bullets come across as a real list, so there is almost nothing to tidy up afterwards.
In my test, a four-sentence report became five bullet lines, and the full answer appeared in about three seconds.
The number rule matters
Without the "keep every number" condition, a model may round or merge figures while it shortens sentences. With it, values such as 12% and 8 cases came through unchanged in my test. Still, compare the numbers against the original once before you send the report anywhere. That check takes less time than the rewrite you just skipped.
When a script makes more sense
If you have dozens of reports to convert, the same instruction can be sent through the OpenAI API in a loop, with the condition line as the system prompt. For a single report in the middle of the day, the chat window is quicker because there is nothing to set up.
