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
Save the module so that the data you export includes any recent
changes.
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.
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.
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.
- Rational 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 Rational 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 will auto-format 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.
