Document Titles

[cweng]

I'm using the RTF Generator to create project documents. I want to share a document template across multiple projects. Is anyone aware of a mechanism I can use some variable, such as the root model name, in a document title page. Thanks

Using the RTF generator, I couldn't think of a way when I hit this problem. Any 'fields' you drop on the doco are part of the "loop", i.e. you run the risk of creating a Title page for each subpackage, etc.
I initially decided to create a template for each doc and just change the title (only a small number of docs involved) quick and simple. I'm now using the automation interface to generate the docs programatically - much easier and far more flexible.

Same problem here. Even worse I would like to use the same template to document different parts of one model, but so far I have not managed to set the document title by trying out various ways.
Our corporate templates make heavy use of Word Macros to set the title, however those can not be included in the templates.

Using 7.1, master documents and document models I came across the following solution:
Create a master document and several document models for each section of the document.
The most important here is the generic document model which holds documents for cover, history, TOC, etc. based on a corporate template with fonts, headers and footers (both static, unfortunately), eg. by elements with linked documents behind them.

That way I at least have a unique cover with the document title. The next step would be to fill a variable/field with a document title so it could be read across the document from other sections but I did not get that far yet.
