Quality Center Microsoft Word Add-In Tips

I'm using the QC Microsoft Word Add-In for the first time and learning all of it's quirks. I'm importing Requirements into QC. Or as QC likes to say, "exporting".

It seems to want me to rename the Requirement Types in my project before it will recognize the Type during "export".

For example, upon export, I kept getting the error:

"Requirement Type 'Business' does not exist in the requirement type lookup list."

I had the requirement type "Business", which I think is a default type. In Project Customizations, I had to rename "Business" to "Business Requirement". Then Import the requirement types using the Word QC Macro. Then I could successfully export the requirements without getting that error.

Then later I was getting the same error with other requirement types. I found that if I imported the requirement types from my project right before exporting to QC, the errors went away.

Very strange. I'm on Windows 7 with Office 2007 and an outdated QC version; so maybe that's why.
