Remove customization

Procedure

  1. Change the template file name to include the .7z extension. For example, rename TWI_TC10OOTB_spec_template.docx to TWI_TC10OOTB_spec_template.docx.7z.

The system recognizes the template file as an archive file.

  1. Open the archive file in 7-Zip, extract customUI.xml, customUI14.xml, and .rels, and store these files for later use.

  2. Delete customUI.xml and customUI14.xml from the archive and close 7-Zip.

Note User interface customization ensures document standardization throughout your organization. Siemens Digital Industries Software recommends retaining the default customization. However, you can edit the customUI.xml file to change the customization, or delete the customUI.xml file to remove customization.

  1. Remove the .7z suffix from the template file name.

Deleting customUI.xml removes all customization from the template file. You can now edit it as you would any other Microsoft Word file.
