Exporting to Word

Updated by Vaida

As of version 1.35 RSpace supports the exporting of single  RSpace documents into Word documents (.doc files). This allows for the editing of Word documents within RSpace before exporting the documents back to Word again. It also allows you to get content out of RSpace, similar to PDF export. However unlike PDF export, Word export can only be applied to a single document.

The export to word feature produces word documents with:

  • Images from the original RSpace document included
  • Attachment links that remain functional
  • Correctly formatted tables from the original RSpace document

Exporting RSpace Documents to Word Documents

  1. From the Workspace view select a single RSpace document
  2. A list of options opens underneath the main menu bar. Click on ‘Export’
  3. A dialogue box appears asking you for the format of your export. Select ‘Word’.
