Default Preformatted files - 05-15-2006 , 09:46 PM






Hello -

I work for a business that has contracted out a web development project. One
of the requirements of the project is to be able to take text and transfer it
to a word file in a format that is predefined. The format attributes are:
margins, size of paper, font (size and type).

The app would need to take the text, look at how the attributes are set and
output it into a word file in that format and then save the file.

Is the above possible? If so can anyone provide general background on how it
is possible? The web development firm is telling us that to do this is not
possible. I am not completely convinced that it is not possible.

I appreciate any input that you might be able to provide.

Thanks!

Susan

Hi Susan,
If you have Office where you run the application, you can use VS2005 Tools
for Office to develop the .net app that perform the task. It's not so
difficult but you need to know about the tool. If you do not have Office It's
more difficult, you need to know the format of word file (specific version
97, 2000..etc.) but again it's possible. Anyway you need to read about VS2005
Tools for Office. Hope that help you.
