Putting 'TABs' Into Word Documents With Automation

Matt.Hill

Is it possible (moreover, how) to insert formatting TABs into word documents when using automation from within Navision...?

Thanks.

yes, have no time to look this up for you, but TAB has an ascii code and there is a way to convert an ascii number to a tekst in navision.

Hi
try this...

Variable
Name DataType
TAB Char

TAB := 9; //Char 9 = {TAB}

IF ISCLEAR(wdApp) THEN
IF NOT CREATE(wdApp,FALSE) THEN ERROR(ErrorText);
wdDoc := wdApp.Documents.AddOld; //or add(-4167); //=Normal
wdSelection := wdApp.Selection;
wdSelection.TypeText := 'Some text' + FORMAT(TAB) + 'more text' + FORMAT(TAB);

wdApp.ScreenUpdating(TRUE);
wdApp.Visible := TRUE;
wdApp.Activate;
