RTF export from descriptions of Rhapsody model elements

I'm searchin a way to export the description of a use case from Rhapsody to Word using the PUB. A constraint what I have is not to use Word-Macros as these can contain viruses and are not allowed in our company. Therefore I need a solution to publish RTF Description in word as pre-formated text. Currently I'm using PUB 7.0.2 and Rhapsody 9.0.2 64bit.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and requested additional information. To date, no additional information received and based on our understanding, idea does not fit our near-term plans. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository.  We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    I searched most EWM project areas and I was not able to find work item with the name 'Export the description of a use case from Rhapsody to Word using PUB' or RFE id 146201. It would be good to have reference but it is not critical to have link to the old RFE.
    Could you let me know if you tried the first option to see if it works for you? Now, I know that Rhapsody has API to provide model description. Is there any reason you can not use Rhapsody API to extract RMM description?

    was the former link, but I cannot reach it anymore, as it seems to be outdated.

    Until now I haven't tried Solution "1: the include .rtf file dynamically" but I would prefer not to save in one file and read the content out from file, as we have really large modells to be analysed. Additionally we have very strict comany rules not to use batch file commands.

    Thank you for submitting idea. IBM Engineering team review board evaluated this request and determined it will need additional time to evaluate this request. You told us that you can not use macros as part of your solution. The link you provided, https://jazz.net/blog/index.php/2020/12/01/handling-rtf-code-in-ibm-engineering-lifecycle-optimization-publishing/, shows two solutions. The first one is utilizing JavaScripting. Have you tried this option?
    Also, you said 'former RFE 146201 from year 2020 - Export the description of a use case from Rhapsody to Word using PUB'. I could not find the link for this RFE. Could you provide us the link to the RFE?
