Working with Publication Documents

Documaker has the capability to generate a document in an enhanced RTF format called a Publication. You can open a Publication in Word and optionally convert it to the Documaker Add-In (DOCX) format.

After conversion, you can use Word to do the following with Publication documents:

See where the data fields and Documaker graphics are located in the document
See which Documaker forms and sections were used and where they are in the document
Identify any incorrect sections, forms, graphics, or data fields in the document
Modify any text
Select forms, sections, and fields and view their properties in the Properties pane that displays below the Element Tree pane
Identify sections that may be candidates for change
Identify sections that could be used as the basis for a new section for the same type or new type of form or product line
Create a new Documaker document based on a selected section

You cannot do the following with Publication documents:

Edit or remove elements
Insert fields, graphics, or triggers
Define sections or paragraphs
Validate the document or display its properties
