Hi Rich,
Yes I much prefer WordPerfect, however I am not sure whether you could
perform the type of merge that I have done in this example with WP, you
could do a similar treatment with WP's XML files, but not with a standard
merge
In Australia WrdPerfect is virtually dead, and my more complex document
automations are nowhere near as reliable woth later versions of WP.
Additionally the technique that is used with DP makes it very suitable for
server side document automation. Other database products can create XML,
but the more popular ones might make life a little easier to produce a
"standard" type f XML for its own purposes, but an XML spec or a project
;ole I did with that example would be massively time consuming with other
databases
If I can help with anything please let me know
Regards
Brian

Hi Brian,
I have just about finished reading through your 4 part DP to Word series.
I think I am following, but will need to actually play with the files.
(And thanks for including DP2.6Y, as it still does not appear to be posted
on Udo's site)
One thought that kept circulating through my mind as I was reading: would
a similar process work with WP? I know that WP has had XML or SGML as part
of its feature set for a long time. I realize that your efforts here are
due to Word not having the ability to import native DP output. Since WP
does have this ability, it may be just a case of gilding the lily, but I
would be interested in your thoughts on this.
Rich
