  When importing a Microsoft Word document to RequisiteWeb and
  the document contains RequisiteWeb edit online macros, a
  warning message is shown in the server and the browser waits
  for it to be clicked so you will see as if the import is
  hung.
  To work around this issue you can copy the content of the
  document to a new Word document and then import the new
  document to RequisiteWeb.
  You can determine if your document will have this issue by
  opening the document in Word. If it contains the edit online
  macros a message will be shown.
  "This document has already been closed in the RequisiteWeb
  project. You will need to re-edit this document through
  RequisiteWeb."
  

Problem conclusion

• RequisiteWeb code was modified to remove Word macros from
  the Word document before uploading it to RequisiteWeb.
