Adding an MS Word Import File

The following steps show you how to add an MS Word import file, which is used to import Word documents into a project.

How to add an MS Word import file to a project

1. Select Project>Import File>Add MS Word Import File.

   The Add MS Word Import File dialog opens.

2. In the Source area select one of the following:

   • New from template This lets you choose either a factory template file or one of your own customized template files as a starting point. The new file will take on all of the settings contained in the template. If you want to use a factory template provided by Flare, expand the Factory Templates folder and click on a template file. If you want to use your own customized template file, expand the appropriate folder and click on a file. Click here to find out what templates are all about.

     Note: In some dialogs and wizards you can click the Manage Templates button if you want to open the Template Manager. This lets you manage any of your template files (e.g., add new templates, enter descriptions for templates). See Managing Templates.

   • New from existing This lets you choose an existing file of the same type—that you've already created and stored somewhere—as a starting point for your new file. As with template files, your new file will take on all of the settings contained in the file you select. To use this option, click the browse button , use the Open File dialog to find a file, and double-click it.
3. In the File Name field, type a new name for the import file.

4. Click Add.

5. Click OK.

   The import file is added to the Imports folder in the Project Organizer. The Word Import Editor opens to the right.

Note: Flare supports Microsoft Word 2003 and newer versions.

WHAT'S NEXT?

After you add the new import file, you can create topics by importing Word documents into the project.
