DocXLib

DocXLib is a library that brings Microsoft Word 2007 document import to Runtime Revolution users.

With the HTMLTextOfDocX function, you can easily import styled documents from Microsoft Word DOCX and XML files into Revolution text fields. Now your users (and yourself) can conveniently open word processing documents for use in your projects, and you can support the latest popular document format, standard for MS Word 2007.

Syntax: get HTMLTextOfDocX(filePath)

Here's a simple example:

start using "docxlib.rev"
answer file "Open MS Word document:"
set htmltext of field 1 to HTMLTextOfDocX(it)
