It would help if we knew what version of DOORS you are using and which DOORS printing feature you are intending to use to create a document? Is it any one of these.

*File > Print?
*File > Export > Microsoft Office > MSWord?
*WEXP?
*Rational Publishing Engine (RPE)?

Did some further investigation on what DOORS features support the ability to include baseline info like baseline label and date - see below.

*File > Print MAYBE - can only display the baseline label in the header or footer - you can manually add the baseline date next to the label

*File > Export > Microsoft Office > MSWord NO

*WEXP http://YES - But is not fully compatible with DOORS version 9.x and not supported by IBM

*Rational Publishing Engine (RPE) YES - But RPE is an expensive licensed add-on tool that you have to purchase from IBM

If the above is no good for you - then you're looking at having to do this using DXL.

I should have previewed my previous post first - here it is without the incorrect markup.

DOORS uses unencrypted DXL code for the File > Export > Microsoft Office > MSWord/MSExcel menu items. These can be found in C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.2\lib\dxl\standard\export\office - word.dxl and excel.dxl.

These DXL files could be copied and modified to suit your needs but they are very large DXL files and I am not very familiar with the code structure, so it would take me some time to work out where the modifications would need to be made.

I recommend that you go to the DOORS DXL forum and post a new topic there - ask if anyone knows how to modify the word.dxl and excel.dxl files to include the baseline label and baseline date in the print job. I am sure that there will be someone who will know what to do more quickly than me.
