Hi,

some of our users want to apply the new feature in V7.0 of inserting OLE objects in text attributes other than the Object Text.

As we have to produce Word documents for delivery, I scanned through the DXL manual to find out how such OLE objects can be exported to Word but only found the old standard for exporting OLE objects in the Object Text.

Does anyone know about a possibility to do? Or did I only overlook it in the manual?

Regards
Toni

Anton,

The standard export to Word script that comes with Doors 7.0 does include in the output OLEs from any Text column that is currently displayed in the module.

If you have your own export script that you are modifying then you need to make sure you are using the "richTextWithOle" function to extract the value from the attribute that you wish to put into word rather than "richTextNoOle" or the old "richText"

Hi Jon,

thank you for your answer; meanwhile I had already discovered the solution myself.

Going again through the DXL manual, however, I only found implicit hints to this funtion. The explicit definitions would not give you the confidence to use the right function, if you read

"The use of this perm should be confined to copying rich text values from one attribute to another."

in the "Operation" part of the function definition.

Regards
Toni
