Hi all,
RE: Imported Word docs - table heading row of long tables is not repeated
for further pages of the table
Using: FM 7.2.
Importing from: Word 2003
I found that when I import documents from Word 2003 that contain long
tables, the table heading row is not repeated for further pages of the same
table.
I expected there to be a simple Properties setting controlling this, but I
could not find one. I tried opening the FM documents in FM 8 to see if such
a Properties setting exists there, and still no luck.
So I ran a search for a solution, and I found the *"The Word-to-Frame table
macro"*, by a certain *Stephen Sealy*, at:
http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/public/word2frame.pdf
You save your FM document as a MIF file, and then load it into Word's VBA
environment (yes...Word - we just want to use the Word API's powerful string
processing facilities), and run Stephen's VBA program.
Ok, great - but it didn't work. So I debugged it a bit, and found that it
used a search string that was not quite accurate, so the searches did not
work. Ok - so I fixed that, and ran it again. Then I found that it started
to update the MIF by adding header rows, but then it hung the PC.
OK - so it probably works, but maybe it was written for a different version
of FM and/or MIF.
So is there a different solution for this?
Or does somebody have a debugged version of this VBA program? (For FM 7.2.)
TIA
