All documents must use the Word template file that can be |
| 32 |
> |
found in CVS: |
| 33 |
> |
|
| 34 |
> |
CVSROOT:/documentation/i-scream-template.dot |
| 35 |
> |
|
| 36 |
> |
To make use of this template you must set the following. |
| 37 |
> |
Click Tools->Options->File Locations and modify the path |
| 38 |
> |
of your "Workgroup Templates" to be CVSROOT:/documentation |
| 39 |
> |
|
| 40 |
> |
This should then mean to start a new document, simply click |
| 41 |
> |
File->New... and choose the i-scream-template. |
| 42 |
> |
|
| 43 |
> |
1) |
| 44 |
> |
The tags <SECTION NAME> and <DOCUMENT NAME> are Word fields |
| 45 |
> |
and should NOT be manually changed. Instead they should be |
| 46 |
> |
changed by click File->Properties, where: |
| 47 |
> |
|
| 48 |
> |
"Title" -> <SECTION NAME> |
| 49 |
> |
"Subject" -> <DOCUMENT NAME> |
| 50 |
> |
|
| 51 |
> |
The "Title" and "Subject" fields should be used in ALL areas |
| 52 |
> |
where the name of the section or document are needed. |
| 53 |
> |
|
| 54 |
> |
(note, any changes to fields like this must be followed by |
| 55 |
> |
an update of the fields in the document. To do this, click |
| 56 |
> |
Edit->Select All, then hit F9) |
| 57 |
> |
|
| 58 |
> |
2) |
| 59 |
> |
All text should make use of "Styles". There should be NO |
| 60 |
> |
hardcoded text formatting in the document. If you wish to |
| 61 |
> |
change the appearance of a specific style you should change |
| 62 |
> |
the document template only. |
| 63 |
> |
|
| 64 |
> |
3) |
| 65 |
> |
No changes should be made to the layout of the opening page, |
| 66 |
> |
the header or the footer. Again, all changes should be made |
| 67 |
> |
to the template only. |
| 68 |
> |
|
| 69 |
> |
4) |
| 70 |
> |
All major changes to a document must have a full revision |
| 71 |
> |
entry on the opening page. This change must also be |
| 72 |
> |
verified by a nominated member of the team. |
| 73 |
> |
|
| 74 |
> |
5) |
| 75 |
> |
The table of contents must be the first page after the |
| 76 |
> |
opening page (including any revsion history). This should |
| 77 |
> |
also NOT be manually edited for a specific document and |
| 78 |
> |
again, all changes should be made in the template file ONLY. |
| 79 |
> |
|
| 80 |
> |
Notes :- |
| 81 |
> |
|
| 82 |
> |
To ensure your document is using the latest template, update |
| 83 |
> |
CVS and check click Tools->Templates and Add-ins for |
| 84 |
> |
information about the attached template. This should ensure |
| 85 |
> |
that all the latest template changes are applied to your |
| 86 |
> |
document. In theory it should just work, but its unclear. |
| 87 |
> |
|
| 88 |
> |
All the above has been tried with Word 2000 *only* some |
| 89 |
> |
testing will need to be done to ensure that it is compatible |
| 90 |
> |
with Word 97. |
