I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations on a formatting issue we continue to have with Ariba Sourcing. During the RFx creation process, we use a number of different documents to copy data into Ariba; Sourcing Library Content, previous RFx in word and/or Ariba, email, etc. The biggest complaint my users have today is the inability to set up an overall format for the RFx content. When we copy and paste from word/email/etc the sourcing tool does not seem to recognize the style/font and will often display it in a totally different font than we see in the original document. To fix this, we've resorted to using the Eraser to remove all formatting, but this is extremely cumbersome with events that have even a moderate number of requirements and questions.
We've also tried to use the import/export feature, but are so far stumped at how this can help us.
Ultimately, we'd like be able to set a standard style/font format for the entire RFx. For example:
Sections - Tahoma 14 Bold
Sub-Sections - Tahoma 12 - Bold
Requirements - Tahoma 12 - not bold
I've submitted this as an enhancement request, but in the mean time, I'd like to see if anyone developed has workarounds to creating an RFP with standard formatting throughout the document.
Thanks!
