The feature works as follows:* Any MS Word document can be used, up to and including MS Word 2007 documents. * You can use a normal Word document (doc or .docx), or you can use Word templates (.dot or .dotx).
* You must first create a document which includes the MS Word Form Fields to be populated by SmartSimple. Each Form Field must be provided with a name (called a '''Bookmark''' in MS Word). This name will be used to link the form field on the Word document to a Standard or Custom Field within [[SmartSimple]].
* Right-click on the Form Field and select Properties. Then provide a name for the field in the Bookmark section.
When the document/template is ready it must be uploaded to a [[Smart Folder]].
Once it has been uploaded take note of the ID of either
* The file ID, which can be obtained by hovering your mouse over the file link
* The the folder ID, which can be obtained by right-clicking on the folder link and selecting Properties.:<br>[[Image:FolderID.PNGgif|left]]<br>The folder ID is the resourceID. For example if the URL is
<pre>http://smart.smartsimple.org/s_editresource.jsp?resourceid=67159</pre>
the Folder ID is 67159
<br>
==MS Word Merge Field== * You then can now create the MS Word Merge custom field in [[SmartSimple]] that will be used to dynamically populate the document.
