Microsoft Word

Importing a design

A Word document can be imported from the client publisher. For more information, refer to the Publication section

OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice documents are also supported.

Browsing designs

A Microsoft Word design is organized as follows:

• It contains the published document split in sections
• Sections are created on the following basis:
  • The front page is a section
  • Every portion of text starting with a heading style becomes a section
  • If present, the bottom of the document can be split into specific sections such as footnotes
• Every section can be commented on and linked to other SECollab resources

Commenting

Comments on Word documents are specific

• A quote in the document can be associated with the comment
• That quote can be anything in the document (text, image) even though the only raw text is rendered as a quote in the comment pane
• Quoted texts are highlighted so that they can be easily identified when overseeing the document
• Clicking a quote's highlight shows a tooltip listing all comments that are directly attached to the quote
• To create a comment with a quote: select some text in the document, then create a comment

Reporting

Word document reports will only display sections that are modified. Those include:

• comments
• collaborative links
