Manage Word Templates

Use this screen to link Word templates to applications where you can print customized reports and documents.

This screen enables you to associate specific application screens in Costpoint with template style reports created in Word.

Create and maintain templates using Microsoft © Word Desktop Version 2013 or greater, including Office 365 on Windows. After the templates are associated with specific application screens, the templates are then available to print within the applications.

Two versions of the Costpoint Word Template Add-In are available:
  • Legacy version released in Costpoint version 7.1.1 works with Microsoft © Word Desktop Version 2013 or greater.
