Error description

• Incorrect output generated by default book.dta Template if the
  First Column in a DOORS Module is the Main Column.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  -----------------------
  1.? Consider a View in a Module where the first Column is the
  Main (Object Heading + Object Text) Column and has few other
  columns for other attributes.
  
  2.? Export this view using the inbuilt File ? Export ? Document
  Generation wizard while making sure that the default 'book.dta'
  template that comes along with the installation of DOORS is used
  for the export.
  
  3.? You would notice that only data from the Main Column (i.e.
  only Object Heading ? Object Text) is exported and data from all
  the other Columns is not present in the generated document.
