When you use the DITA2Go Project Manager to run a conversion to Word, you can view the output immediately with the View Output button on the Run Project tab. You can even have Word run a macro at the same time, with the Word /m switch. For example, to launch Word and then run a macro that will Select all/Update fields/Deselect:
[WordOptions]
; ViewOutputCommand = path\to\viewer.bat, default none
ViewOutputCommand=C:\office2k\Office\WINWORD.EXE /mUpdateSaveDoc
You can specify an absolute path or a path relative to the wrap directory. See §1.3.7 Establish system-wide configuration settings.
