[Quoted] Hello, I'm Arjan from the Netherlands,
I have many Word templates.
I have to fill the bookmarks/mergefields with data from an Oracle
application (made in Forms 10g).
I think OLE2 is the solution.
I already found codes to go to a specified bookmark and fill it.
However, that's not enought for me.
The data is already known and the many Word templates are also already
existed. I want to fill all bookmarks/mergefields of a Word template
without knowing which Word template will be open and the names of the
bookmarks.
I was searching for all OLE2.invoke methods, but I can't find them by name (to see what possibilities I can use).
In my thoughts I want to do the following:
1. Opening Word and a word template (works).
2. Find the next bookmark (couldn't find a method like GoToNextBookmark
or something? Is this possible?).
3. Grab the name of the Bookmark (didn't tried yet, because step 2
didn't work so far).
4. Fill the bookmark (on the hand of the name) with the specified data
from forms.
5. Go to the next bookmark and also fill that one... until there is no
next bookmark anymore.
Anyone who knows how I have to handle this? Alternatives are also welcome...
I will also be happy if anyone has a nice list of all methods I can fill in with OLE2.invoke to handle a word document. Thank you!
