Using macros in Microsoft Office Word templates

When working with Microsoft Office Word templates in Teamcenter, keep in mind the following:

• Teamcenter supports user-defined macros only for Spec Templates.
• You can add macros in a Spec Template and save the template.
• Teamcenter preserves the macro only for static export to Word. If you export using the Word live option, Teamcenter does not preserve the macro.
• Object templates do not support the macro capability. Any user-defined macro added to an object template is not preserved in the output.
• Teamcenter does not support ActiveX controls for Spec Templates and Object Templates.
• Teamcenter does not support event level macros in the Teamcenter viewer pane. If a file needs to be viewed in Teamcenter, event level macros should be renamed to nonevent macros to allow storage and manual launch when the workbook is opened in Excel.
