I've had a couple of replies off list, and with more playing around I
discovered I can open the html in a browser, copy it there and use Paste
Special- html code to import it into LO Writer. If there is a better way
to just import and format as described below I would be happy to know that.

Hello Keith I'm trying to understand what you want to accomplish.
You write "I want to print a financial report worth (perhaps you
meant with?) data from my accounting program" and then describe how
you try and manipulate that data in another program. So it seems you
are printing a financial report already but the output of the account
program doesn't meet your needs. Is this correct?
Then you describe various output formats the accounting program
provides and that none of the formatting meets your need. My
questions here are:
- how do you want the formatted reports to look? e.g. the data
centered on the page
- what appears on the page before and after the data?
- what program are you expecting to use to make the formatted report?
Thank you
Hi Alan,
Amongst other things, I need the Account Balances and Profit and Loss
statements in the same document. But I also need to produce a clearly
readable document so that amounts line up etc. Other reasons I want to
edit the document include to add a logo plus comments.
The financial software produces information that looks like this:
Item1 $32.00
Item 2 $3257091.23
Whereas I want it to look like this:
Item1 $32.00
Item 2 $3257091.23
A table would be ideal as you can add borders etc, but that's not
essential.
I used to export the data as html which used to import directly into
LO, but now LO just shows all the html code rather than the formatted
document. So then I used to open the html file in a web browser and
copy and paste the page into LO. But the latest version of the
financial program (moneydance) has changed what it puts into the html
so that even passing it through a web browser just results in a list
similar to that above.
Hope that clarifies my aim.
