opening a native word 2003 document shows garbled test

1. offizieller Beitrag

    If I open a native word 2003 text with anything but plain text, the TWPRichText editor shows garbled text.

    I have tried this using the wpDefEditor also with the same result.

    However, if I open the default editor by double clicking the TWPRichText component and use the load menu to open a native word 2003 document. I have the option to choose "Word 97-2002" as a filter and the document opens fine.

    Please advise how to use the above filter or how to open the native word 2003 files. I am using the latest version of WpTools 5 downloaded today.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Add unit WPWordConf to the uses clause.

    When you do this the Open dialog lists the available converter DLLs - in case any are installed on the system. That converter DLLs are property of MicroSoft and if they work (or not) is not under our control.
