BIDIRECTIONAL ? WORD AND EPDM DATA CARD

earl navarro Jan 11, 2014 1:03 PM

I set up a template for our ECO, so that the user will fill out the form and will automatically fill in the WORD document(ECO form)

I got that working so far, but my question is when i update the WORD document....it doesnt update the DATA card in EPDM..I thought this is supposed to be bidirectional...meaning you can change it in WORD and will update the DATA CARD, or change it in the DATA CARD and will update WORD.

Please help?

thanks

earl

Earl, inheritance with WORD is not bi-directional. Word will read the data frm the card but not the other way around. We also control the ECO with EPDM and we populate the entire ECO with the data card. Our directive is not to edit the ECO document but edit the data card this way the confusion should be limited. I know the correct answer sucks sometimes.

  To help with Jeff's recommendation, if you're running 2013 or 2014 you can download the EPDM Office add-in from the customer portal. It gives an easy interface to view and modify the data card from inside of Word, Excel or Powerpoint.
