Innovator Office Integration

Innovator Office Integration is an extension for the Innovator platform that allows the user to insert and manage a requirement into an Innovator model through Microsoft Word. This is done using a Visual Studio Tool for Office (VSTO 3.0) add-in.

Requirement elements can be created and edited separately through MS Word without Innovator being installed on the client machine. The add-in includes an efficient updating mechanism between the Word document which can be partly generated offline and the Innovator model on the repository.
