Office Integration

Using the Office Integration

STP Documents offers an Office Integration for:

  • MS Word
  • MS Excel
  • MS PowerPoint
  • etc.

Since the Office Integration for MS Word and MS Excel is designed almost identically, it will be described together for both programs below.

Overview

You can find the MS Office Integration of STP Documents in the following places in MS Word and MS Office:

  • In the main window on the right, a section with document data and commands (buttons)
  • Ribbon "File" > "Save As" > Save functions "LEXolution.DMS"
  • Ribbon "File" > "Open" > Open "LEXolution.DMS"

Note
Please do not use anymore:
Ribbon "LEXolution.DMS" > Group "Import" > Button Save in DMS: This function opens the "Edit Document Data" window of the standard DESK.
