Vensim documentation compatible with MS Word

[Dr John P Weldon]

I document a Vensim (DSS) model in order to generate a MS Word version of the Vensim output. I then use that output to create or update a MS Word file of all parameters and variables in the model.

In the quite long time since I last completed that exercise something appears to have changed. I am now unable to generate output that is compatible with MS Word.

Please tell me how to do this.

Can you describe in more detail the steps you are taking? Are you using the document tool, copying the sketch, copying graphs/tables etc?

[Dr John P Weldon]

I right-click on 'Document'. Then I select necessary options. Finally I click on File>Publish. I do not know about 'copying the sketch'. No graphs or tables are involved.

File>Publish is unrelated to the Doc tool. You probably just want to click the Doc tool and save the resulting window.

[Dr John P Weldon]

I have followed your advice. Before saving I selected 'Save to file'. Resulting problems include: no indication of the saved file's name, or where it is located.

When I use File>Save from the Document tool window, I get the usual Save As dialog with type .txt, prompting me to name the file. The default location is the folder containing the model. Do you get a different behavior? Are you using v10 and the new gui?
