Producing high quality
documentation in Enterprise Architect is
simplicity itself. Documentation can be produced
in MS Word compatible format in a matter of
seconds or minutes, with very few mouse clicks.
Even the largest models can be used to generate
documentation in an instant, with no problem.
Simply select the Package you
wish to document in the project browser and right
click to bring up the context menu. Select
Documentation - Rich Text Documentation

Selecting this option will
display the following options screen. From here
you can select what details to include or exclude,
what diagrams to show, whether to process child
packages, where to ouput documentation & etc.
When complete, press Run to generate your RTF
document.

Rich Text Format documents can
be read by MS Word. In practice you may wish to
create Master documents with links to your RTF
files - this way you can continually update the
body of the document (the RTF part) while keeping
the master sections (indexes, cover pages,
headers, footers & etc.) the same.
Note: The RTF files generated
store the images in a separate directory - if you
distribute your documents you must either
distribute this directory as well OR use MS Word
to break the links and store the images in the
document (see Edit/Links in MS Word)
Some example output is
available here: EADocuments.zip
