Hi.
I am quite new to DOORS so my apologies if my question is based on lack of trivial knowledge. I have objects in DOORS. Some contain only Object Header entries and most of my requirements have both Object Heading and Object Text entries. When I export with WEXP my heading style is lost for objects with both Heading and Text. These are formatted as Column Cell styles. If it is only a heading it is correctly formatted as Heading X with numbering and everything. Interestingly this is not the behavior of the simple word exporter in DOORS. What I want (in tables): 1 Intro 2 Something All about somthing 3 Somthing Else What I get: 1 Intro Something All about someting 3 Something Else Thanks for any advice you may have. Dan. |

Dan, Generally, it is not a good idea to have text in both the heading and text of an object. You should create an object that is the heading only and then a child of that object that contains the object text. If you follow that practice, WEXP will keep the styles when it exports. I'm not sure what you mean when you say you want it as a table. The example you have shows a typical organization of objects in a module. Edited: 4-Oct-2007 at 17:55 by Sudip Das |

quote: I meant that I want to generate tables in word with the content of the above (1 Intro .... etc.) Thank you for your answer. I feared the answer would be something like that. Just seems strange that WEXP is unable to do what the simpler doors word export feature can do. Dan. |

You can set the word style for individual objects by editing the Paragraph style attribute.
Contain each attribute within angle brackets, and seperate the attribute name and style with a colon. eg <Object Heading:Heading 1><Object Text:Heading 2><Object Short Text:Heading 3> The draw backs are (i) that you need to apply it to each object (ie table cell) you want to format, and (ii) it is a pain to maintain. In the interests of Keep It Simple and Stupid, don't mix attributes and styles within a cell. |
