To quickly upload a file, drag one or more files from the Windows® Explorer into a project or a project folder on the Artifacts project page or in the Project Explorer view.
If Microsoft® Office documents (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) are uploaded to the repository and if Microsoft Office is installed on your computer, you can open an Office document and edit it in the Rational Requirements Composer client. The Office product toolbar is embedded with the document in the editor. There is no direct integration with Microsoft Office products in other requirements definition artifacts.
You can upload documents in other vendor formats. When you open these documents from the Project Explorer, the vendor's application opens on your computer and you can edit the document. A placeholder window opens in the editor as the vendor's application opens. After saving the document in the vendor's application, select the Upload and Close option in the placeholder window to save your changes in the repository.
