Step 8: Send the Analysis to Microsoft Word
TOPS Pro Version 5.X includes a feature that uses a Word template to
convert an analysis directly to a Microsoft Word file. Each template is
defined by a number of items – Product, Intermediate Pack, Shipcase and
Unitload – and a number of views – 3D, Plan, Side and Front. TOPS Pro
uses these templates to retrieve specific information from an analysis and
present that information in the form of a Word document.
Note: TOPS Pro provides a template – Simple.dot – from which you can
create your own custom Word templates. For instructions, please contact
TOPS Technical Support.
To send an analysis to Word, start from the Analysis View and follow
these instructions:
1. Go to the Windows Toolbar and open the Export Menu.
2. Select the Send to Word option.
