Edit requirement content in a separate Word window

Note: Requirement content includes the text of any Word callout shapes that are inserted in the document. If callout text occurs in the first 2,000 characters, the requirement's Body Cleartext property shows the callout text inline with the overall content. The Body Cleartext property is displayed in the Summary view, on the Overview tab under Item Properties.

You can insert the Body Cleartext property column in the Requirements view. Use the Set the number of rows per line list to display multiple text lines as necessary.

This functionality differs from opening Word documents that are stored in Teamcenter and may be related to requirement objects or other objects. It also differs from editing requirements and structures with Teamcenter live Word in Client for Office.

Procedure

1. Select the requirement and choose File→Open in MSWord Application. The requirement opens in Word.
2. Use the standard Word functions to enter, change, or format the content.
3. To commit the edits to Teamcenter, choose File→Save in Word or click Save on the Word toolbar.

If you did not check out the full-text dataset explicitly, the dataset remains checked out implicitly to your user ID when you select another object in a structure view or exit Teamcenter. You must close the Word window to check in the dataset implicitly.

If you checked out the full-text dataset explicitly, it remains checked out. You must explicitly check in the dataset.
