Exporting to Microsoft Word using Rational Reporting for Document Generation

You can export the data in your current view to Microsoft Word using Rational® Reporting for Document Generation.

Before you begin

Save the module so that the data you export includes any recent changes.

Defaults for the module that are used every time you export the module using Rational Reporting for Document Generation are set up using the Configure Module menu option.

If you are running Rational DOORS® through Citrix, Word must also be running through Citrix or the export fails.

If Microsoft Word is not installed on your computer you cannot use the export to Word function.

If you are exporting a module that contains a numbered list, the list will be displayed as a bulleted list in the Microsoft Word document.

Note: When you export modules to Microsoft Word, Rational 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.

Procedure

  1. Click File > Export > Document Reporting > Microsoft Word.
  2. Select the options that you want to apply to the export, and then click Export.
