Limitations

The following known issues exist for the Microsoft Office integration:

Mapping interaction with Property comment

If a relationship is defined between a PLM attribute and the Comments field of the file properties of a file, any data manually entered in the Comments field will be replaced by the value of the mapped PLM attribute.

Deleting custom mapped properties

You must delete custom mapping properties before you remove standard mapping file properties, otherwise you cannot delete the custom properties.

Using Word as your email editor

You cannot use Microsoft Word as your email editor with the PLM- Microsoft Office integration.

Viewing Microsoft Office files through PLM

Due to a Microsoft limitation, you cannot use the Microsoft Office integration while viewing Microsoft Office files via the PLM viewer.

Word documents with Control Toolbars

The Microsoft Office integration does not support Word documents containing control toolbars, that is, forms or check boxes. This limitation extends to documents that used to contain check boxes that have since been deleted.
