info

To add controls to a Microsoft Office template, the Developer tab needs to be enabled in the ribbon. For example, in Microsoft Office 2013, this can be enabled in the Options under the File tab.

 

1.Open the Microsoft Office template, for example a Microsoft Word template. Click on the Thereforeā„¢ tab in the menu. Under Create Profile select New Template Profile.

2.Give the profile a name. Click the browse button and specify the currently open Microsoft Office template. Before we can complete the template profile configuration, we need to configure an indexing profile to map controls from the template to the Thereforeā„¢ category where the document should be saved. Click OK to save our work on the template profile so far.

3.Next switch to the Save Document tab. Check the box Save the new document in Thereforeā„¢ and then select the indexing profile that should be use to extract the index data from the document (see Extracting Index Data). If desired, you can change the format the file will be saved to in Thereforeā„¢. Additional options can also be configured if saving the document in PDF or PDF/A format.

4.In addition, if the document is configured to be saved to Thereforeā„¢, then it can also be sent via email using Outlook. Check the box Send the new document by e-mail. An Outlook template can be used if desired. The format of the document can be chosen and email properties can be populated using index data from the document that will be saved to Thereforeā„¢. Once done, click OK to save the template.
