    OK – found the problem. Seems like postgreSQL does casting of variables slightly diffrently to SQlServer and the other DBMSs.
    I THINK I have fixed this, but I haven’t tested every bit of SQL, so please re-post here is you find any more issues.
    Sorry for the problem – issue is resolved in v2.2.3.0, now available for you to download.

    Hi Marie
    This looks like an incompatibility between DBMS types – it always seems to be postgrSQL which causes the problems!
    I am investigating….

    Yes – you need a full version of MS Word installed on your computer. Ofice 365 subscriptions are OK, but you must have the option which installs all the software on your machine. Web-only versions won’t work, as eaDocX must talk to the Word API, which is provided only in full Word installations.

    I have added a fix, so that you can introduce a new document into eaDocX by just setting ‘Use Document Management’ in the document settings.
    This is available now in v5.0.5.4
    Thanks

    Sorry, but I still don’t understand what you want.

    I understand WHAT you want to do.
    I don’t yet understand WHERE you want to do it. Is this a stand-alone table, or a table which is part of something else?

    This function gets around a restriction in MS Word. In older versions of Word, when using the HTML interface, Word does not allow style names which contain spaces.
    So, as a work-around, eaDocX changes the name of the style in Word to add underscore instead of space (and adds “_eaDocX_” so that it’s easy to find again) then, when the document has generated, changes the name back to the original.
    Here, it looks like something has happened at the end of this process, and the document has not completed the generate, and the final ‘change back’ function has not worked.
    Did you see any errors when generating?

    I think we have satified this use case using the eaDocX Collaboration Edition function – did you look at that?

    I still don’t fully understand where the problem is.
    Your example looks like a simple list of <>Requirement elements, some of which have a related <Class element.
    Is the problem that these requirements, in your example, are (nested) child requirements of another requirement? And they all – parent and children – have the same stereotype?
    If this is the case, then you really do have a problem: to print the parent <Requirement, it probably needs to print ‘inline’, with a table of other requirements linked to it via a ‘nesting’ relationship – using a Relationship Table. But eaDocX only allows you to print attributes of the ‘nesting’ connector, or the child requirement – not things which relate to the target requirement.

    This may be one of those example where, because eaDocX has a finite set of capabilites, you just can’t do what you need using the out-of-the-box function, so you will need to either write a script, or print the data in a differnet way.

    If the children have a different stereotype from the parent, then it’s easy – just create different Profiles for the two stereotypes. As it stands, you kind-of want the same stereotype to print in two different ways, depending on whether it’s a parent or a child. And eadocX can’t do that.

    There’s an important more general point here. If you choose to generate your documents from EA – using any generator application – then there will always be restrictions on how things can look. You get all the bebefits of generate document, and this is the price.

    Do you mean that Element Reports are not working in this version, or that the document does not look how you want ?

    There was an issue with creation of Element Reports, under some circomstances.
    Fixed in v5.0.5 now on the website.
    This also has a new feature to allow you to choose ‘any stereotype’ or ‘no stereotype’ as options on element reports.
    Sorry for the issue.

    I suggest that, before you do any comparison, that you take a copy of the eaDocX-generated document, and use that to re-generate the document.
    I’m sorry, but I don’t know what MS Word does when it does a document comparison.
