- obtain a zoom-in image including the associated area of interest. The image size is defined in Edit / Properties / Import and Export / Word.

- extract the swath parameters that will be written in the Word document.

(2) Load the Word document template in XML format.

(3) Using a style sheet and configuration files in the templates folder, generate a final word file with the pictures and parameters inserted in a table with one row per swath.
