Customizing IBM Cognos for Microsoft Office

You can set options that apply to IBM® Cognos® for Microsoft Office or specifically to your report analyses.

Viewing information cards
IBM Cognos for Microsoft Office provides information cards to display a thumbnail view of the report or workspace content. The information card also displays high-level information about the reports or report items, such as owner, contact information, and the date the report was last modified.
Showing cell-based border styles in Microsoft Word
When a crosstab is imported into Microsoft Word, special cell-based border styles are not recognized. IBM Cognos for Microsoft Office respects the formatting style defined for the first cell in the table and applies this style to the entire report.
Checking for updates to the report structure
You can retrieve updates to the report structure each time that you refresh source data or import a report element in a Microsoft Office document.
