The utility has two purposes:

1) You can specify that Word opens up under Eclipse's control using a custom template of your choice. You use Word_Config.exe to tell Eclipse where to find this document. This is defined on a PC login basis, so multiple templates across your company could be used.

IMPORTANT:

You will need to save your custom template as a normal document, i.e. with a .DOC extension, NOT as a Word Template, i.e. with a .DOT extension. Moreover, you should not try to convert an existing Word Template into a normal document as it seems that Word does not remove all of the Template properties from the new file.

·	You will need to set your template document to be a READONLY file.

2) Inserting reports in MS Word supports "Word Format" as well as RTF. If you have a Crystal Reports runtime of version 8.5 or lower, Word format will mean that the document remain "editing friendly", but layout may be compromised when your report is inserted.

You may need to adjust margins in the Word template and tweak your reports if you use this option.
