RTF Report ( Bookmarking )...
« on: August 10, 2012, 07:07:37 pm »
Hi all,

I'm trying to bookmark sections of my RTF report to my Word ( 2007 ) master document by following the EA help files but without success...

Perhaps the help file was written with a different version of Word in mind?

When I 'Copy RTF Bookmark' in EA then go to my Word document I can't see the 'Insert | File' menu option...

I decided that 'Insert | Object | Text from File...' was the equivalent because it has the 'range' option for me to enter my GUID bookmark tag after selecting my .rtf report file...

Either way, I'm not getting any output once I've chosen to 'Insert as link' from the drop down box...

Any thoughts?




Joe

If you're trying to produce documents from EA, have you investigated eaDocX ? Simpler and faster for producing complex EA documents.

Bookmarks are included into the rtf report only if you have unchecked  "Optimize for Open Office" option on the window for generating RTF documentation.
So I need a master document in format .doc or .docx, a generated RTF report with guids marked as bookmarks. And then, as you wrote, you need to select Insert | File... and paste GUID of selected package as "Range".

But it IS unchecked...  Still nothing, perhaps I'm going wrong elsewhere?  Any ideas?
