Extracting Individual Use Cases from a Word Document into RRC
I have a Use Case document which contains over 200 Use Cases. As an example each one follows a similar format to this in regards to headings:
Under each heading is descriptive text as appropriate. What I want to do is, import each Use Case from the above document as its own artifact, so each artifact has the correct name, and within the Primary Text field in RRC, has all the above sub headings with their texts. At the moment, if I use the inbuilt tool to try and do this, RRC extracts every single sub heading from above as its own individual artifact, so rather than 200 Use Cases, I end up with 4k+ artifacts, which is not helpful! Is it possible to extract each Use Case from my word document so each becomes a single artifact with the sub headings and associated text for each Use Case in the Primary Text field? I know how to do this manually but need an auto process if it's possible. I am using RRC v4.0. |

I haven't played with importing using text delimiters myself either. I assume you pick any two strings that will be unique in your document and obvious to a reader that they are not part of the "normal" text.
For example:

Well Im happy to report that the example you gave does in fact work Daniel, so thanks for that. On reflection, it would 1) take ages to put them into my document and 2) take longer than just importing as a rich text document and manually extracting them, so that's what Im going to do. |
FYI: If not used in the document, I often use either { and } or [ and ] for my delimiters.

Just a comment in here, for future readers of this.
It does not take a long time to add delimiters in if you use a pretty basic VBA macro to do so. If enough of you reply OK to this, I will post one up.
