Merge case, document, and contact information with a Word template

You can merge case, document, or contact information with a Microsoft Word template.

Each template includes content controls. A content control represents an information field of a case, document, or contact (party). For example: (Case, Case handler) Name 1, (Document) Title, and so on. When you merge a template with a certain case or document, content controls will extract the related values from that case or document. For example, (Case, Case handler) Name 1 will receive the value Ann, (Document) Title will receive the value Application form, and so on.

Note: Merging information with a Word template is not possible for the archived or locked documents.
