Downloading your Collaborate documents to Word gives you more control on how you would like to deliver your documents to your clients. This functionality was designed to improve our customers’ workflows and processes. Downloading your documents to Word is still in Beta, and our developers are working to improve our ability to do this process. If you have any other questions about this feature, please reach out to your account manager.

To Create a Word Template

  1. Open a Word document.
  2. Save the document as a .dotm format using Save As.
  3. Open your Default Theme within Collaborate.
  4. Click the Show Advanced button.
  5. Click the Content button so that you can see the different Heading and Paragraph styles.
  6. Within Word, click into your Styles Pane so that you have access to your Heading and Paragraph styles.
  7. Begin the process of matching your Collaborate styles with your Word styles. Example: If your Heading 1 in Collaborate is Helvetica, your Heading 1 in Word must also be Helvetica.
  8. When you make changes within your Styles Pane, ensure that you are clicking on the Add to template checkbox.
  9. Continue going through this process until all of the styles within your theme builder match the styles within your Styles Pane.
  10. Once you have finished making the necessary styles changes, save your Word document (Remember, this must be in the .dotm format).
  11. Within your Collaborate Theme Builder click on the Word Beta tab.
  12. Upload your newly created Word template file.

Do not change the Normal style within your Word Styles pane. Doing this will break your Word download ability.

Once you have completed your Word Template, you will be able to download your Collaborate documents to a Word format.
