# Export TDL Test Objectives as Word tables
## Install the plugin
Make sure that the TDL Word export plugin is installed. Find here [how to install the plugins](https://tdl.etsi.org/wiki/index.php/Installation). After the plugin is installed, you will be asked to restart the Eclipse environment.
After Eclipse restarts, you should be able to see a `W` button in the toolbar below the main menu.
1. Click on the `W` button in the toolbar and wait for a few seconds. It may happen that the Eclipse window is not responsive to clicks during the export execution, it does not mean that it is an error.
1. When the processing is done, the newly created Word document will be in the same folder of the tplan file and should appear in the Project explorer
2. If the file is not shown, select the project, right click and select *Refresh* (or hit F5 on the keyboard)
