Caution: Live Word supports only Microsoft Office Open XML file types, such as .docx and .docm. With any other file type, such as .doc, the document may lose its live capability and become permanently static.

Procedure

1. On the Office ribbon, click the File tab and choose Save As. A message warns you to save the document in an MS Office Open XML file format such as .docx and .docm.

2. Click OK to dismiss the message. The Word Save As dialog box opens. You can select the location for the offline document, for example, a folder on your local file system or a shared drive.

   Caution: Ensure that the selection in the Save as type list is a file type of the Microsoft Office Open XML format, such as Word Document (.docx) or Word Macro-Enabled Document (.docm).

3. Click Save to store the document and close the dialog box.

After you close the document, it retains its live Word capability, although it is temporarily disconnected from Teamcenter. The next time you open the document, you can do either of the following:

• Accumulate changes pending connection to Teamcenter at a later time.
• Connect to Teamcenter and synchronize changes with the corresponding structure.
