Can we migrate our existing Word templates to SmartDocuments?

“Can our existing Word templates be migrated to SmartDocuments?”

This is one of the questions we are asked most frequently. The answer is yes: existing Word templates in DOCX format can be easily imported into SmartDocuments. For this purpose, SmartDocuments provides an import function within the administrative interface of the template management system. After import, templates can be opened in SmartEditor and gradually transformed into fully featured SmartDocuments templates. Existing layouts and content are retained throughout the process, eliminating the need to rebuild templates from scratch.

Key Benefits at a Glance

• Time savings: Templates do not need to be recreated from the ground up.
• Seamless reuse of existing content, including text, formatting, and layouts.
• Easy enhancement with dynamic functionality, such as questions, conditions, and reusable content blocks.
• Streamlined migration process, making the transition from Microsoft Word to SmartDocuments straightforward and efficient.
• Intuitive editing of imported templates within SmartEditor, which is integrated into the familiar Microsoft Word environment.

The import functionality is particularly beneficial for larger organizations, as it significantly reduces the time and effort required to migrate existing document templates into SmartDocuments.
