I wonder how can I convert loaded DOCX document to RTF.

and also to convert loaded RTF to DOCX

Thank you.

Thanks , it works :)

I have another question related to performance of appending.

I've done the following test:

1. Load doc2 from file

2. Append 100 times to doc1 (which is empty)

The code is in my fist post. I've tried also with LoadFromStream() at cursor position.

I noticed that:

- If I load the content from .rtf-file the time is about 6 minutes (on my computer)

- If I load the content from .docx-file the time is about 1 second (on my computer)

Is it possible the reason to be only the format differences ?

Maybe I am missing some specific setting that affects the performance.

Regards

And what about inserting a page break in case I'm using LoadFromStream() ?

That was the reason I used AppendAsSection().

I need page breaks between all added documents.

(format is .rtf or .docx)

Hello,

For test purposes I use the following simple code to append one document to another several times:

  for var i: System.Integer := 1 to Count do
  begin
    doc1.CPPosition := $FFFFFFF;
    doc1.AppendAsSection(doc2);
    doc1.ReformatAll;
  end;

The result document looks as expected - all content is appended as sections.

But I wonder is there another way to append - not as sections?

Because currently if I want to change (for example) orientation of the result document in MS Word I have to Select All first and then change the orientation. Otherwise the orientation is changed only for a section.

Regards

Hi,

Thank you for the guidance :)

We made some experiments with size of table, columns and cells and we've managed to get what we need with .rtf-template :)

Do you have any idea about the other problem I described - with .docx-template:

Some inner borders of the table which are set to be invisible in the template and after wptools processing the are visible.

I've tried to hide/show all borders together, one-by-one etc. - but unfortunately no effect.

It would be great if you could give some advice.

Best Regards

Thanks for the reply.

1. About the table - You mean this property should be set during creating of the .rtf-document in MSWord, right ?

this is about the "shrink-ed" columns/cells ?

2. And what about the docx-document problem - the inner borders are hidden in the original document but visible in the document saved by WPTools?

Best Regards

Hi,

The problem is with WPTools 7.

Here in the sample I copy the the file just for test - to see if the same effect will appear:

"test1.docx" - without copy

"test2.docx" - with copy

But in my main application I need to keep original WPRichText unchanged as a "template" and have copies of it which I will modify with some dynamic data.

FYI:

I had a source.rft file and saved it as source.docx using MSWord (no changes - just SaveAs...) because I need to work with .docx from now on in my application.

So I use this source.docx

I don't have this problem with source.rtf file - table is fine there.

Best Regards

Hello :)

I'm trying the do the following using TWPRichText:

1. Load doc1 from file:

var
   doc1, doc2: TWPRichText;
   ............

   doc1.LoadFromFile('souce.docx');
   doc1.Header.PageSize := wp_DinA4;
   doc1.ReformatAll();

2. Save doc1 to file:

   doc1.SaveToFile('test1.docx');

3. Copy doc1 to doc2 using the following code:

procedure TForm1.CopyDoc(source, dest: TWpRichText);
begin
  with dest do
  begin
    Assign( source );
    FastCopyProperties( source );
    Align := source.Align;
    ViewOptions := source.ViewOptions;
    InsertPointAttr.Assign(  source.InsertPointAttr );
    AutomaticTextAttr.Assign( source.AutomaticTextAttr );see the attached 
    InsertPointAttr.Assign  ( source.InsertPointAttr );
    ProtectedTextAttr.Assign( source.ProtectedTextAttr );
    ProtectedProp     := source.ProtectedProp;
    PrintParameter    := source.PrintParameter;
  end;
end;

4. Save doc2 to file:

 doc1.SaveToFile('test2.docx');

I open the three files (source.docx, test1,docx, test2.docx) in MSWord.

Please follow the link to see the screenshots of the files open in MSWord:

<edit: sorry we do not allow links for security reasons>

The saved files (test1.docx and test2.docx) the internal borders of the main table are visible.

They are not visible in the original file (source.docx)
