Applying Microsoft Office Word templates to exported objects

Caution: Users must have at least Read access to all Word export templates for their projects. A user without such access to one template cannot select any template in the Export to Word dialog box.

The overall style for the generated document comes from the specification template:

• Rules and keywords in the specification template are applied to the first object of the structure.
• The first object of the structure uses the specification template managed by item revision definition configuration (IRDC), unless the user chooses another template at run time.
• When there is no IRDC-associated template, the default is used.

When you select a specification for export in Systems Engineering

• All the objects under the specification are exported.
• Rules specified in the object template are applied to each exported object.
• Property keywords in the object template are replaced with corresponding attribute values of the specification object.

When you select a single specification element (e.g. a requirement or paragraph) for export in Systems Engineering

• All objects subsumed under the selected specification element are exported.
• Rules specified in the object template are applied to each exported object.
• Property keywords in the object template are replaced with corresponding attribute values of the specification element object.

When you select more than one specification element object for export in Systems Engineering

• Only the selected objects are exported; subsidiary elements under each selected object are not exported.
• Rules specified in the object template are applied to each exported object.
• Property keywords in the object template are replaced with the corresponding attribute values of the first specification element object.

When you select a single object for export in My Teamcenter

• The object template, if managed by an IRDC object, is used for export unless you choose otherwise. When there is no IRDC-associated template, the default is used.
• Property keywords in the object template are replaced with corresponding attribute values of the specification element object.

When you select multiple objects for export in My Teamcenter

• Only the selected objects are exported. The default object template is used unless you choose otherwise.
• Rules specified in the object template are applied to each exported object.
• Property keywords in the object template are replaced with corresponding attribute values of the top specification element object.
