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…

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.
