DNG to support Word Equitation

Doors Next should support Word equitation DOCX format, like Rational Doors supports. Word equitation is supported only in DOCX format but this is in conflict with DNG today.
At the moment, the steps are quite tedious:

  1. Create equitation as docx file

  2. Save the equitation in doc format

  3. Add doc file as Artifact -> DNG shows equitation as preview in UI

  4. If wanting to edit equitation, open Artifact with doc file

  5. Upload to own machine and save as doc

  6. Open file as docx - edit it

  7. Save as docx

  8. Re-save as doc format

  9. Re-upload to Artifact
