Okay...something "funky" happened with this in the digest. The problem you reported appeared there! After the line containing [if gte mso 9], the entire rest of the digest is one long string of characters. Don't know why, but perhaps there's an embedded special character turning things "weird". It might be the xml tag, but that doesn't make sense to me... --Tom Pellitieri Century Equipment --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] spool images going to word documents
Could you pipe the report through unix2dos to add the line feeds?

RE: [U2] spool images going to word documents
Bob; I suspect that it's something to do with how your DATAREC is stored. Either it's got only the unix format char(10) that you need to change to char(10):char(13) or they are @VM's. You can try sending it as straight html with tags or using a hex editor to see what character is actually at the end of the line. hth Colin Alfke Calgary, AB >-Original Message- >From: Bob Witney > >I am building an email as follows to send a report as a word >attachment via sendmail from aix 5.2 (Universe 10) > [snip] >REC<-1> = '' > REC := @FM:DATAREC - where DATAREC is the record from the spoolq > REC<-1> = '' > REC<-1> = '' > >It arrives as a word attatchment, the only problem is that >when i open it with Word i have one lone string of characters >and have lost all the line breaks > >I suspect that I need to pass a line feed of some sort into >word but the usual char(10) and char(13) do not do the trick > >Has anyone seen this before and found a fix ? > >Many thanks > >Bob --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
[U2] spool images going to word documents
