This configurator drives Microsoft Word. It is a processor that allows saving a Word file to PDF. In addition it supports executing a macro on the file, and allows saving in a number of common text formats.
The Microsoft Word configurator supports incoming job folders in addition to individual files. In case of a job folder, the configurator expects that the folder contains a single Microsoft Word file on its topmost level, and that all resources referred to from within the Microsoft Word file reside in the job folder or in one of its (nested) subfolders.
Refer to Version requirements for third-party applications for more information on the third-party application required by this configurator.
