RTF. Genie's RTF viewer is a bit 'basic' and spits the dummy when it
gets some more complex documents with tables and with section breaks and
a few other Word features. (Yes Horst, it would be great if a more

documents [like pdf or html])
there are several free libraries with RTF parsers and RTF-to-html converters
available.
Yes. But virtually every one that we tried had some irksome quirk.
This usually means that you can use it, but you have to avoid using
such-and-such in the source document. Dont like having to say to
clients "Sure create any document you want but avoid using Arial font
because it displays in Greek" "or avoid Tables and boxes because the
converter doesnt like it".
Maybe Paul Carr should look into them -in my experience it was so much easier
to just convert RTF into a sensible format on the fly (in my case HTML, and
display the content in a html widget) rather than trying to implement a
complete RTF widget or relying on some closed 3rd party modules
Yer. There is always a "yes but...". Yes but (I think I am right) the
Genie inbox into the 'Results' area can only use plain text or RTF, and
the process of importing into the 'Documents' section of Genie (where
you can view a range of formats including pdf) is different to the
'Results' import process; and this gives the doctors the irrits to use
two procedures. However I had better stop here because I am getting out
of my depth(we have staff who play with this all day) and I dont want to
accidentally malign Paul's Product.
