RTF import wizard

You can create a Document from scratch in Blueriq, but you can also be off to a running start by importing an existing RTF document. Companies often already have detailed templates of the documents that are involved in their business processes. In that case, the easiest way to a new Document is to import an RTF-file into Blueriq Studio. During the import process, you can map the various styles that the import wizard detects in the source document onto pre-defined content styles and presentation styles in Blueriq.

You can save a lot of studio editing time by 'cleaning' the source RTF document before import: make sure all paragraphs, headings, ... that look the same, actually have the same style. In Word, you can use the Format Painter to copy and paste styles.

Create a document by importing a RTF document

To create a document by importing a RTF document follow these steps:

1. Within the target project, choose File - import;
2. Choose Import Document and select a RTF document;
3. Choose Next;
4. Match contentstyles and optionally presentation styles from the RTF document to styles in the Blueriq document; when you select a style it will be highlighted in the document preview;

5. Check the styles that act as parent node; this will create a hierarchy in your document which will make it easier to maintain;

   Note: When you check "Style acts as parent node" for the headings in your document, it is recommended to create new sub elements after the import to create a hierarchy with HeadingX and HeadingXTitle, this will not be done automatically. An example of such a hierarchy is shown below.

6. Choose Next;
7. Optional but recommended: check the option to add a root node this will make it easier to move the imported document as a whole;
8. Choose Next; 

9. Provide a name for this document and either save it as content item or as a new document;

   RTF import lets you import complete documents or just paragraphs or tables.

10. Choose Finish.
