Formatting content

Manual formatting is retained in the database when you close the temporary file. You can apply manual formatting through Word's Format menu and formatting toolbar.

The Word styles that the database retains are governed by the full text dataset that is attached to the REQ_default_spec_template item. This dataset can be opened in Word for editing styles, which are set in Teamcenter when the dataset is saved. Those settings are applied to requirements and paragraphs when they are opened.

Changes to styles in the temporary file do not affect the content in the database. Although you can modify and create styles, and apply them with visible results in Word, such changes are not retained when you close the file. Nor is it effective to modify Word template settings or to attach other templates.

Furthermore, page setup modifications have no effect in the database. Changes to margins, paper, layout, or headers and footers are not retained beyond the temporary Word session.
