I am using wptools6.
I am wondering if support for opening word docx files from office 365 has been added to version 7.
I can open word docx from office 2010 pro just fine with my application and wptools6 including wpwordconv, but if I try the app on a machine with office 365 nothing opens. just blank document.

I have an older app I need to recompile.
I thought it was on wptools5, but after installing the package, I get lots of errors that properties do not exist.
So, it was either written on 3.09 or 4.x. Is there any way I can tell what version I was using in the program code so I can get the correct VCL version installed to my D5 pallet?
Thanks.

That is super excellent Julian. thank you.

After importing many files, I find that there is a code in the raw rtf that is not recognized and I would like to locate and delete or replace the code in the raw file. I am not sure how the best way to do this is. I could just open the file in a tmemo and do the seach and replace, but the file is already loaded in to a wprichtext, so I would have to close it, open in memo, then reopen in wprichtext all in code.
Is there a way to do this directly from the wprichtext componenet?
The code that appears in the rtf is /endash and it displays in the wprichtext as an object. I need to just change it to a - (hyphen)
Advice please.

needs to be changed to

in order for the file to desplay correctly.

I have wpspellcontroller set to use registry.
On form create the following:
common := CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS;
installdir := GetSpecialFolderPath(common) ;
SetRegistryData(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,'\Software\WPCubed\WPSpell\SpellCheck-Files',
'DCT0', rdString, installdir+'\myappfolder\English.DCT');

On clean install to test computer, first time I run spell check, it comes up with no dictionary set. I click configure, then browse to english.dct in users\public\public documents\myappfolder\ and click ok.
Then I get access violation from then on.
Is this a problem with my setting or with the access to the public folders?

I am having a hard time understanding how to locate the object.
I found these examples
where does ('<<Graphic-Signature>>') and ('[sig]') come from?
I just want to locate an object I put in with this code:

postit := TWPOAnnotation.Create(WPRichText1.Memo.RTFData);
      postit.WidthTW := 300;
      postit.HeightTW := 650;
      postit.Caption := 'PostIt';


      // WPRichText1.Modified := True;
      WPRichText1.Textobjects.Insert(postit);

examples from documentation on textobjects:
begin
GSFile := 'C:\testfile.jpg';
if FileExists(GSFile) then
with WPRichText1 do
begin
Finder.ToStart;
while Finder.Next('<<Graphic-Signature>>') do
begin
TextObject := TWPOImage.Create(WPRichText1.Memo.RTFData); // !
TextObject.LoadFromFile(GSFile);
SetSelPosLen(Finder.FoundPosition, Finder.FoundLength);
TextObjects.Insert(TextObject);
end;
end;
end;
Alternative, using a graphic from an TImage object:
WPRichText1.Finder.ToStart;
while WPRichText1.Finder.Next('[sig]') do
begin
WPRichText1.CPPosition := WPRichText1.Finder.FoundPosition;
WPRichText1.Finder.FoundText := '';
WPRichText1.TextObjects.InsertCopy(Image1.Picture.Graphic);
end;

I tested with Word, and you are right. You must have turned off automatic dashes.
If i type hello - and goodbye,
the dash gets changed to a different thing. I can undo or turn off, but I can't know or tell users to do that, so I need to get rid of it some way like deny objects.

Yes, it appears that when it is pasted into wprichtext or in a file opened, it comes in to wprichtext as an object. It shows a hand cursor. Can I make my import no allow objects to come in?

Word these days seems to convert a typed - (dash, minus sign) to a long dash of some sort, if I try and copy/paste this into wprichtext, it does not seem that I am able to change the color of this dash.
Any ideas?

Yes, I pass:
wprichtext1.FindDialog('');
in before execute of wpasearch1 action.
It works the first time the find dialog comes up, but the next time the action executes, it never clears the text again.

ok, how would I find those dlls?
I can load the file directly into word without problem, so they must exist on the system.

In my app, execution of the default action wpasearch1 brings up the find dialog box and in the find text is always the first paragraph of my file.
I want to clear the find text each time the dialog is called.

It doesn't seem the WP default actions give access to the dialog properties like the regular default actions do. Meaning the action property has no dialog sub property like windows standard actions for dialogs do.

Can the find and find/replace default dialogs be modified prior to display and execution or do I have to create my own custom dialogs using the wprichtext.finder ?

I am not having any luck loading an open office .odt file type.
I have tried loadwithconverter and it gives the same result as loadfromfile with AUTO flag. It basically loads the file as ascii text showing all the encoding/escape code.
Loadfromfile with UNICODE flag gives me Chinese or something.
Help?

I heard they are releasing a VCL converter for FireMonkey this week in alpha release called MonkeyGroomer. Maybe it will help?

thanks for the tip.

Let's say I want to do
wprichtext1.InsertGraphic(extractfilepath(application.exename)+'Pin.bmp',false,[]);

and I may do this 10 or more times in a document to mark positions in the text to come back and review later.
Can I then search for the occurances of the Pin.bmp in the text to locate the position? Like using an HTML book mark in the file...

thanks, d

Can you use this to set the default amount of spacing for bullets?

So that bullets would always appear as
* text
instead of
*text

Thank Julian!
