I've got to modify an MBX application to print a page of legal fineprint following the output of one to many maps. The maps are easy, but how do you produce a neatly-formatted page of text? This page has about 1000 words of boilerplate text and I've got to add some run-time generated summary text as well.
The output goes directly to the printer on the client machines, and I can't assume they have MS Word, Adobe PDF, or even a web browser. The only thing I can think of is to paste the boilerplate text into a layout window, line by line (because strings can't be longer than 255 chars), and then save it as a workspace. At run time, I could then open this layout, drop in my additional text at the top of the page, and print the page. But the prospect of manually laying out the fixed text seems a bit daunting. Does anyone know if there is a better way, or a tool that can move a Word document into a frame that could be dropped on a layout? - Bill Thoen --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 13640
