Learn to set up Application Integration with Microsoft Word and map properties in your Word documents to properties in the content repository. This tutorial demonstrates how you can add Document Manager menus and commands to an application like Microsoft® Word®, and how to use native properties in your documents for search and retrieval once the documents are stored in the content repository. Also, learn about hierarchical-Controlled Vocabulary Lists (CVLs).
