Thanks Lori, I have seen that document. I was hoping PTC would add support in future datecode releases for 10.1. It appears to already work with Office 2013 and as I think most of us know Office is updated much more often than Windchill. If PTC expects us to use Windchill for a document control tool they need to do a better job of incorporating newer versions into currently supported platforms. Many people stay on Windchill for many years while Office could update much more frequently.

As Lori states, DTI for Office 2013 is not supported with 10.1, however we do seem to be able to use it without issues so far with 10.1 M040. How much longer I will be saying that remains to be seen.

As Microsoft pedal their O365 licence in the cloud model, it means more and more people will be constantly using the very latest version of Office. If PTC continue to be months and years behind in terms of DTI support this potentially poses a problem. I would be interested to hear PTC's view on this issue.

Wayne, Darren,

I've forwarded this concern over to product management, and I'll keep you posted on what I find out.

Okay, the Office 2013 support at 10.1 M050 is official. TBH, I would not expect many issues at 10.1 M040.

I am looking into the WVS request now. My understanding is the same as Gary's. Office 2010 should be able to open Office 2013 documents without any issues, so the publishing can stay at 2010. WVS is not my specialty, so I'll report back if there's any perceived issues.
