I erroneously looked at the 4DWrite documentation when I intended to
read the 4DWrite Pro docs. So my post below should have asked whether one
can
generate a Word doc from 4DWrite Pro.

Subject: Creating a Word document from 4D
In a Windows-only 4D v15 db I need to generate Word documents. I haven't
used 4DWrite in a while, but see in the documentation for WR SAVE DOCUMENT
one can save a 4DWrite document as an rtf file. there is also this note:
"Compatibility note: To retain compatibility with previous versions, the
DOC8 (Word 8 Document) type is also supported."
Is anyone saving 4DWrite docs as Word docs, and if so, are there any issues?
Is the formatting in 4DWrite docs faithfully reproduced in the resulting
Word docs? Does the above compatibility note suggest that support for Word
may not be found in future 4DWrite versions?
Are there other ways to generate a Word doc from 4D? The documents I need to
generate will be parallel to a 4D "Detail form for printing" containing
multiple records on each page, and flowing to multiple pages when there are
more records than can fit on one page.
Thanks,
David
