Importing formatted text

Is there a way to import Object Text from Word or Excel where certain words are formatted(bold/italics/etc.) into existing objects and maintain the formatting without creating new objects? I need to import several hundred objects into a given module and maintain the Object ID. When saving s file to .csv or .tsv for spreadsheet import, the formatting is lost.

Similarly, the formatting of certain words in any Text Attribute needs to be maintained.

Manual re-formatting after import is not desirable because of the large number of documents I will be importing.

Thanks, Don

For Word files the 'Export To DOORS Plugin' that ships with DOORS works reasonably well. For excel files you should google for "Advanced Excel importer". Regards, Mathias
