1) You might want to use RTF templates instead. It's a format you can more easily search for your markers and modify, and Word will open it directly. 2) If RTF is insufficient, you might consider Word + VBA, and use Word's actual scripting to fill in the templates. (Perhaps also OpenOffice or a derivative.) 3) Perhaps there's something in the OpenOffice libraries which could be wrapped up into a gem to do what you want. > I used docx_replace, but found that it's not always replacing the variable > names with the template values. Note the second sentence in the description of docx_replace: "This is purposefully meant to be simple and feature-light." The specification of the docx format is over 7,000 pages--"simple" and "complete" are incompatible goals when dealing with docx. -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@elevated-dev.com http://www.elevated-dev.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottribe/ (303) 722-0567 voice -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
