Converting Other Document Types

In addition to converting Word documents to Documaker documents, you can also convert:

• basic Rich Text Format (.RTF) documents

Note

To convert an RTF file with embedded XML metadata, complete Opening a Publication Document for the First Time instead.

To convert a non-Word document to a Documaker document

1. In Word, open the document you want to convert to a Documaker document.
2. Save the document using the current Word file format.

3. From the Documaker tab, select Create Documaker Document, Convert.
4. Complete the Document Properties dialog.
5. Click OK when done.

The Documaker document is saved.

Note

You cannot convert a Documaker document back to a non-Documaker document. Even if all of its content is removed, the document will still retain various Documaker properties and variables. However, these additional items should not affect another user's ability to use the document as a regular Word document.
