    Hello Sebastian,

    I believe Matthias is correct. The suggested workaround for this is to use a a table without borders. The table should have two cells, side-by-side. In the first cell insert the <%{Section}%> field, and in the second cell, insert <%{Text}%>.

    The reason this is occuring is because, as Matthias stated, your <%{Text}%> field starts with a newline. This is the case with all Integrity rich text fields.

    This is covered by CS91937: Issues with Word/Gateway: Carriage Returns/Line Feeds inserted between non-RTF and rich text content, and would attach you to defect RFC 369604. Please contact PTC Integrity Support to have your organization associated with this enhancement request

    Regards,
    Kael

    The Word Export Template does strongly depend on the styles you use in your Word Template.

    Your sample seems like a "Heading2" style, so please ensure that in your dotx template file the according style definitions do not include anything that would explain your visual result (e.g. the "space before" setting for paragraphs).

    Please keep in mind that you check the "MKSHeading2" style as well.

    HTH Matthias

    Thank you for your answer, but I don't know what you mind.

    My template ist a Word-Document (docx). I don't use a specific Word Template (.dotx), just the Microsoft normal.dotx for my documents.

    The problem is not the format, I know, that i have to adapt the format "MKSHeadingXXX" every time. The problem that I have is the "NEW LINE". I want to have this:

    [5.1] Requirement 1

    In one line and not this:

    [5.1]

    Requirement 1

    Integrity insert a new line only bevor the field <%text%>, I don't know why!!!!

    If I do this:

    <%section%><%section%><%text%>

    I get:

    5.1 5.1

    Requirement 1

    Sorry about the confusion, sure the template ist a Word-Document (docx) - must have mixed it with the Edit in Word Templates- my fault.

    My point is that as far as I know there are only two ways to get a "NEW LINE" into your document.

    1. the content of your <%{text}%> field starts with a new line, so do not blame the Template, but the data.

    2. the style applied by the Word Template to the <%{text}%> content (the "space before" setting)

    I use the somthing like

    [<%{Section}%>]<%{Text}%>

    a lot in several export templates and never had a problem with that.

    BTW:

    If you want to avoid reason 1. from above you can use

    [<%{Section}%>]<%{Text} richcontent="false"%>

    to specify a Heading.
