When you commit the changes to Teamcenter for the destination structure in Word, the object that you copied from the source document is:

• Copied as a new object to the destination structure in Word.
• Copied as a reference copy to the destination structure in Teamcenter.

The source document in Word and the source structure in Teamcenter remain unchanged.

Example

As shown in the source example, the Req1/A requirement is copied and pasted from the Spec1/A specification in the source structure to the Spec2/B specification under the Req3/A requirement in the destination structure. When the changes are committed to Teamcenter, Req1/A is copied by reference to Spec2/B under Req3/A in the resultant destination structure.

Because this example shows the source and destination structures as being precise structures in Teamcenter, Req3/A in the destination structure references Req1/A. If the source and destination structures were imprecise structures in Teamcenter, Req3 in the destination structure would reference Req1.
