MockupScreens 4.70: Export to MS Word
June 4, 2013

As one user recently emailed me, “MockupScreens is very useful in communicating ideas across a distance divide”.

What was lacking in MockupScreens was the ability to export your mockups to a Word document, and then continue developing your document further.

With MockupScreens 4.70, you can do just that…

Export to Word in MockupScreens 4.70

What you already could do with MockupScreens is to print your mockups for a meeting. Or send them to your customer in PDF format. But the problem was that you couldn’t customize the report or edit the PDF document. And copying images to a Word document by hand feels cumbersome.

Well, MockupScreens 4.70 with new export to MS Word (in RTF format) feature is now live!  Download it from the main MockupScreens website.

Note: to upgrade from previous version simply download the latest trial and unlock it with your existing license key.
