Hi, I am using "MS word 2007 doc to Template" smart service

Hi,

I am using "MS word 2007 doc to Template" smart service to generate the report. I have large number of ###key### in the template. Everything works fine.

But when I make some changes in the template and upload it again, it removes the most of the mappings done previously. I has to do it again and again each time I update the template.

e.g. Even if I modify the alignment of the text and upload the new version of the document, and when I go back to that node and rescan the template, some of the mappings will be lost. (If I run the process model without rescanning or updating the new template in that node, generated report does not replace the ###key### values.

Please advice....

In order to preserve the original mappings (as long as you haven't changed the name):

0. Make sure you have saved the most recent changes you've done to your model
1. Upload a new version of your template by clicking on the checkbox next to the file name in the Documents tab and click "New Version"; complete the wizard.
2. Open your "MS Word 2007 Doc from Template" node and click on the "Setup" tab
3. In the "Template" field select your template
4. Click "Re-scan" template
5. If the names of the tokens didn't change the expressions you used in the original template will remain as seen in this video forum.appian.com/.../103298
