You can drag and drop a Microsoft Word template onto Document Studio to quickly create a
new template or a link to a resource in an existing template.
About this task
Note: Only the basic elements and formatting will be imported from the Word template to the
Document Studio template.
After you import the Word template into Document Studio, simple
elements should be retained such as paragraphs, tables, and lists along with formatting such as
fonts, indentation and borders. The following elements are supported:
- Text
- Paragraph
- Image (including height and width properties)
- Hyperlink
- Table
- Automatically resize to fit contents
- Table border properties
- Row height
- Cell width
- Cell border
- List
- Numbering style
- Bullet style
- Header
- Footer
- Comment
- Fields
- Table of contents
- Page number
- Total number of pages
- Others
- Bookmark
The following are not supported:
- Horizontal and vertical merge.
- Empty paragraph properties such as font color or name.
- Bullet properties such as font.
- OLE objects.
- If a list is enclosed within a paragraph to support paragraph properties such as spacing, an
additional line might appear before the list begins.
- If there are independent paragraphs in between list items, the list items are treated as
different lists.
Tip: For better results:
- Front page templates: You might also want to use the Word template as a
stylesheet in the document specification, by setting this file as a style sheet for the Word output
property.
- Content templates: You might want to remove any repetitive data in the
document.
