Exporting to Microsoft Word
You can export the data in your current view to Microsoft Word. Unicode or
international data is included in the export and is encoded in rich
text format.
Before you begin
If you are running IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® (DOORS) through Citrix, Word must also be running through Citrix or the export fails.
If Word is not installed on your computer, you cannot use the export to Word function.
Note: When you export
modules to Word, DOORS
uses the Windows clipboard. Before you export, make sure
that there is nothing on the clipboard that you want to keep.
About this task
If your module contains hidden text that was previously imported from Word, the hidden text is displayed in the Word document when the module is exported.
You can export the current view in book layout, which lists the attributes on separate lines, or in table format. If you use table format, data is displayed as it appears in the module.
You can include attributes that do not have a value.
Use the advanced options to control the formatting of
the Word document that is created.
- If the data in the module was originally imported from Word, you can apply the style information that was captured during the import when you export.
- DOORS features are automatically mapped to Word styles. You can manually map styles, and save the mapping in a file that can be used for future exports.
- By default, the Word document applies the DOORS settings for table borders. You can ignore these settings and apply borders to all table cells
- By default, table column widths in Table layout are inherited from the module. You can ignore the column width settings in the module and Word auto-formats the columns.
- You can select the template to use for the Word document that is generated.
- If you export in book format, you can insert line separators between objects in the Word document.
- If you export a large module to Word, you can specify intervals during the export to save the document. Automatically saving the document at intervals prevents the export from failing.
