Jean-Pierre,

What about the compatibility of docs with Word? What would be critical
for us is that anything the users put into their text (in terms of
formatting, tables, styles, etc.) passes without distortion into Word.
We manage all the editing inside the application whilst users are
creating their documents, but once the finished document is ready,
they must have the option to save out to Word and continue editing in
Word without finding lots of glitches in the format..

TIA

Nick

Nick,

That would be no problem I think (of course I don't know your
application). I would know if there were problems by now because I do
all the printing with Word. My application is mostly about generating
texts in various forms. When the user wants to print I always give him
the option to print (I compose the document in Word with the various
pieces of text they have put in and I print without making Word
visible) or to open the text in word (which is basically the same, but
I make Word visible and I do not give a print command).

The software is in use since 2004 and there have been only a few (less
than 10 in all those years) minor glitches. Many users copy/paste
texts from Word into TE-Edtit-control and all comes out just fine. Of
course Word is a large animal so I don't if your users make use of all
the possibilities of it... in my experience most users have only a very
basic knowledge of Word :)

greetings

Jean-Pierre,

Any chance of a peek at the wrapper class (or parts) for TE? I've been
looking at the feature list, and it's pretty impressive..
