Any body knows how can I set some text from documentum type field to ms word(field macros)?
Afaik there's no standard way of sharing data between Documentum and Wordfiles.
There are some libraries that allow editing/reading of wordfiles through Java (Apache POI/OpenXML, Aspose.Words).
Also docWriter is able to enter object-data into wordfiles through the use of mergefields.You can create mergefields in a document template (or single document) and then call docWriter in the TBO and it will automatically save your meatdata in the wordfile.

Thanks. I will try it.
So I guess Documentum doesn't support this features?
You replied while I was editing my post.
As I said, I don't think so.
One more question for you Bart. Where can I get DocWriter SDK? I didn't found on official site.
Since docWriter is not free, the SDK is also not freely available.
I had the same requirement recently and went with Joels strategy

Which means you have to consider the following

For a finish, I got Wor installed on the App Server, and wrote a vbs script to perform the mail merge..... works well so far...

Sorry for the shaemless self promotion
You might want to have a look into our OFCbridge at http://www.btmsoftware.eu
It will synchronize metadata stored in the repository with the MS-Office file custom properties, which in turn, you can use in your word content...
Thanks everyone for your replies. I choose Aspose product, its until satisfied me.
