Editing Microsoft Word export templates

Edit Word export template settings to change the name, description, and other information. You can also download the template to get a local copy, upload a new version of the template, and preview how the resulting document looks when using the template.

1. With an item list open, click Actions and choose Export to Microsoft Word.

The Export to Microsoft Word dialog box opens.

2. Click Configure Templates.

The Configure Word Export Templates dialog box opens.

3. Select the template and click Edit.

4. Make any changes.

  • If you are modifying the template, click Download to download a copy to make changes in. This helps ensure you have the most recent copy of the template and do not overwrite changes that other users made to it.
