Implement the Word to DOORS export in a modern OOXML format (dotm) and retire the doors.dot format

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The 'classic' Microsoft Office Word template files in the *.dot format are increasingly being blocked in organisations for security reasons. An implementation of the Word to DOORS export in the modern OOXML template with macros file format (dotm) would remove the need for exceptions (which require periodical reviews), on each DOORS client machine running that exporter add-on in Word.

    The doors.dot is in a todays world somehow outdated, as the idea describes. Also fur us in our large company. A much more better idea can be, to provide an external, independent tool to cover all necessary transformations to be able to import a rich featured Word-document into DOORS Classic.

    But the greatest hit will be to have (at-least for your customers) the source-code available to be able to extend the tool(s)!

    We do have a lot of Word and PDF (ok, this format is then converted to Word) documents from our customers and we need to transform/prepare all these Word-docs before we are able to import them into DOORS.

    Big pains are large tables, embedded OLEs (i.e. Visio), many embedded styles, special characters (like >=, <=, ...), etc.
