SAP BDS - Template Based Word Integration

Former Member — Wed, 28 May 2008 12:11:12 GMT

Hi,

I am having requirement of integration with Microsoft Word.

There will be set of letter templates in the Word document for quotation. I need to create dynamic documents with reference to thse templates kinda mail merge and present it to user.

User might change the data in the document and the changed data shd be saved back.

I am thinking of putting these document templates in BDS and retrieve/populate them using mail merge interface.

I guess there are some methods as well to save the document data back to BDS.

But i am not getting how shd I start with BDS. What kind of config is needed to start with BDS ? How do we store the template documents on BDS server ? I am looking for kind of functionality as that of SAPRDEMO_MAILMERGE_INTERFACE

Technical help from BDS perspective will be helpful.

Thanks
