Using Layout Actions in MS Word
Last updated on 2025-01-08
Overview
With the help of layout actions, you can apply a layout you have defined in Lucanet Disclosure Management’s layout robot to an Excel worksheet that you want to insert in Word.
By saving a layout robot, you can use layout actions in MS Excel and MS Word to give your tables a uniform design. Use the Configure document option to assign a layout robot to a document.

To use layout actions in MS Word:

Configuring Layout Actions
A separate layout robot can be stored for each document in Lucanet Disclosure Management.
To assign a layout robot to a document, you must open the Configure document workspace and add a layout robot in the Layout Robot settings area (see also Configuring a Document).
This is also where you can use the icon to save an already assigned layout robot locally, e.g. to use it in another document.
