Notes

  • All documents other than PDF documents and Excel workpapers are inserted into a Word workpaper in Engagement CS. This allows all documents to have a read/write copy (MS Word, Adobe, or MS Excel) format and a read-only copy. In addition, workpaper properties can be included in Word workpapers.
  • You can also use the drag-and-drop method to insert documents into an engagement.
