Importer for Microsoft Word®

 Create Work Items for import into Polarion in arbitrary Microsoft Word 98, 2000, XP documents. Works with Word documents having a consistent style structure, the elements of which are reflected as links. Sets Title and Description fields, and configurable pre-defined values for other fields. Description can contain basic text formatting and browser-compatible images. (Not the same thing as Polarion LiveDoc - there is no 2-way synchronization between Polarion the document.)

DEPRECATED. This extension is fully replaced by features delivered in Polarion version 2011.

Polarion Companion for MS Word helps import binary MS Word Documents as Polarion Work Items.

Basic features of this Companion

  • Import MS Word Documents, using Apache POI parser and creating Polarion Work Items over WebService API
  • Mapping of Document artifacts to Polarion Work Items and their attributes - e.g. possibility to define that all "Heading 1"-formatted paragraphs will be imported to Polarion as Requirements (Title of the requirement will be taken from the heading, and description from the text till next heading); "Heading 2"-formatted paragraphs will be imported as linked Change Requests, "Heading 3" - as TestCases, etc.
  • Possibility to reproduce Document structure as WorkItem hierarchy (through linking or in a module)
  • Support of formatting conversion (i.e. text formatting will be persisted in the Work Item descriptions - e.g. bold, italic, list, tables, etc.)
  • Support of embedded pictures (please consider that only the pictures, which are compliant with the client Web Browser requirements, can be successfully exposed in Polarion. E.g. JPEG, GIF, PNG, etc., but not OLE objects or Word Drawings).


The Companion is implemented as Command-line utility, which can be run on any client computer having a HTTP (or HTTPS, if required) connection to Polarion.
