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.

Re: Vensim documentation compatible with MS Word
Can you describe in more detail the steps you are taking? Are you using the document tool, copying the sketch, copying graphs/tables etc?

Re: Vensim documentation compatible with MS Word
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.
Re: Vensim documentation compatible with MS Word
File>Publish is unrelated to the Doc tool. You probably just want to click the Doc tool and save the resulting window.

Re: Vensim documentation compatible with MS Word
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.
Re: Vensim documentation compatible with MS Word
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?
