Objective:

• To disable the option to export documents to Microsoft Word

Environment:

• PolicyStat

Additional Information:

By default, policies can be created or edited via the PolicyStat Editor or within Microsoft Word documents. For more on how to create new policies, see this article. For more on how to export existing content and work with Word, see this article.

Exporting to Word to edit your policies is not considered best practice since often users will modify content in Word in a way that is not able to be converted back into the PolicyStat Editor as desired. If desired, Site Administrators can remove the ability for their users to export to and re-upload policies from Word documents.
