Note: In the Export to Word dialog box, the Check out objects before export option explicitly checks out the exported objects before the document is generated. This option is selected and unavailable by default. Unless you changed the REQ_checkout_objects_before_export preference, the objects in the offline document are checked out automatically.

Procedure

1. In the live Word document, click the Word Save button, or use another of the related Word features. Live Word displays the Save dialog box.
2. Select the Save and Check-In check box, and then click OK. Live Word displays a progress indicator if no modification conflicts exist between the document and the structure.

The Modified objects warning dialog box opens if objects changed in the document were changed also in Teamcenter after the original export. You can click Details to view the objects in the Conflicting objects found dialog box.

Select one of the following options in the Modified objects warning dialog box:

• Stop saving to terminate the synchronization without applying pending changes.
• Ignore modified objects and continue saving to continue the synchronization and overwrite all Teamcenter changes.

Note: If a processing error prevents any change, Teamcenter rolls back all changes for the structure.

Click OK to begin the process. If modification conflicts are resolved, live Word displays a progress indicator. The changes are applied to the corresponding objects in Teamcenter. The document closes when the process is complete.
