Configuring Microsoft Office for requirements authoring
If you use the Microsoft Office Word for requirements authoring, you must create and manage specification export template documents. Specification export template documents are Word files that control the content and format when you export a structure from Systems Engineering.
Likewise, if you export to Microsoft Office Excel, you must create and manage Excel export templates. Excel export templates are Microsoft Excel files that define the property data and output format used when you export objects from Teamcenter to Excel.
If you use the Excel import/export feature, set the TC_setProperties preference to determine if changed objects imported from Excel are automatically overwritten or if the user is prompted for confirmation.
