HI We are trying to move from microsoft office 2000 to openoffice. We get data from a as400 and drop it via perl oodoc into openoffice documents. It works quite well and fast. The last feature we need to replace are templates . We use a lot of templates in word were we put data from a as400 in In the past with microsoft office we dropped the data from the as400 in little rtf files example : name goes in name.rtf adres goes in adres.rtf customer number goes in cusnr.rtf then we made a template where we inserted the rtf files on the right places and connected the files (coupled) so that when the rtf files change the template changes and oops you push a little button an the as400 screen and you can make a letter to the customer. we have more than 100 templates with letters to the customer
When i open these templates in openoffice i can not change them an the name and adres are not printed out. when i try to insert rtf files in openoffice they always use my full wide of the page and when i make them smaller the text goes smaller. Is this a good way to proceed or is there a better way to dump data into templates. I only need name ,adres, customer number, code, testvalue rgds Harry -- Harry Conings I.C.E.
