Barrie, you're not clear about exactly how and where you'd like the client interface to work (Win32/*nix?). It's easy to create a Windows interface which just uses the components you want out of Word - that is, the user may not need to fire up Word or use the Word UI, but the Word engine will still be there (and a license is required). When the user Saves a Word doc it can be stored in an MV environment. The question is, do you want Word?
If you store the doc in Universe, you need to decide if you just want text or if you want formatting too (of course you can get both). If you strip formatting then the next time the doc is edited the user might want to add the formatting back - a bit of futility. If you want everything then Word can save as XML, which is pure text, so that the next time the doc is loaded it looks the same as when it was saved. I've done a lot of work with Word and the entire MS Office package. Please visit http://nebula-rnd.com/products/ and in particular the NebulaDoc page for more info. BTW, we also offer conversion from JET to Word with our software: ConnectingFlight. Good luck, Tony Nebula R&D -----Original Message----- From: Barrie Matovcik A snowy hello from Maryland. Does anyone know of a UniVerse or System Builder Word Processing package? We require spell checking, including the input of custom dictionary items and what MSWord calls AutoCorrect. This is a process that would take "shortcut" codes from the input and convert them to previously defined strings of perhaps technical, medical information. We currently have our staff enter the document, including the shortcut codes, in Word, then AutoCorrect it to convert the codes to text, then use System Builder to transfer the temporary ".txt" file to a record in one of our UniVerse files. Thanks for any responses.
