Windchill RV&S provides you with the ability to edit your document (and/or its content) in the Microsoft Word editor already installed on your system. For supported Microsoft Word versions, see Windchill RV&S Product Integrations.

If you have 64-bit Microsoft Word installed on your system and are using the 64-bit Windchill RV&S client, you can import large Microsoft Word documents on a system that has enough system memory. Importing such large documents in Windchill RV&S provides you the ability to edit content for 10,000 nodes after the import operation. The Windchill RV&S 64-bit client can import a large Microsoft Word 64-bit document with the following optimal attributes:

These attributes are listed as a guidance for importing a large Microsoft Word 64-bit document. The import operation depends on various system resources available such as installed RAM, disk space available, and the heap size allocated for JVM that is used by the Gateway application.

Document and content is edited in a Word editor that is opened inside the Windchill RV&S client, giving you access to Microsoft Word functionality while still using the Windchill RV&S client. When you are finished using the editor, items are saved back to Windchill RV&S for you.

For information on requirements and caveats for this functionality, see “Word Editor Prerequisites”.
