tfs2010

Hi all,

I've got a requirement from a client - They need to generate a document based on a work item's attachments (also word documents).

Is such a thing possible? I assume that it will require the use of TeamSpec, or another TFS-to-Word exporter.

If this is possible, I'd like to know if I can make the resulting document based on a template of my choice?

Thanks, Assaf.
