Microsoft Word Connector

Intro

Microsoft Word is a widely-used word processing tool developed by Microsoft. To learn more about the Microsoft Office API, visit their page (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib.../fp179696.aspx).

You connect to your Microsoft Word account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Microsoft Word connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to the SFTP server with Microsoft Word files you want to import, you must have the following:

• The hostname or IP address of the SFTP server

• The port number of the SFTP server (default is 22)

• The username and password you use to log into the SFTP server

Connecting to Your Microsoft Word Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Microsoft Word Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Microsoft Word account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:  

Once you have entered valid Microsoft Word credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Microsoft Word DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane contains two fields where you enter information for connecting to Microsoft Word files.

Other Panes
