Yes, it's possible, as Google has shown, that it's possible to 'crack' the MS formats, but it is not trivial, and not published. What is usually suggested is to tell whoever is supplying the documents you need to process in RTF format, which any copy of Word can do, and you can preserve most of the formatting.
Parsing such a document must still be done carefully, but the RTF specs are published online. ------------------------- Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/7/29 Gregory Lypny <gregory.ly...@videotron.ca> > Hello everyone, > > Is it possible to read a portion, say, 300 lines, of a Word file (.doc) > into a Rev field and keep most the formatting or otherwise strip it away? > > Regards, > > Gregory > _______________________________________________ > use-revolution mailing list > use-revolution@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution > _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
